As per the separation clause no. (iii), company reserves the right to effect termination without any notice period, during probation period or after completion of probation period. Hence company will not allow you any compensation.
It is therefore advised in your own interest, to hand over whatever the items belonging to your company, which you have in your possession and try to get a smooth and clear exit.
Legally speaking, if you worked for atleast one month, you are entitled to get your applicable bonus.

Thanks a ton for the prompt response
The clause mentions if there's reasoning, yes true
I have worked hard and no one expressed any disappointment or negative reviews till date, This termination was totally unforeseen, i have only good feedback till now
Being jobless all of a sudden, a notice or compensation would help in applying and finding a job
Is there any way out ?

Hi,
As per Clause III employment can be terminated without any notice for
" misconduct or negligence, or have committed any fundamental breach of contract or
caused any loss to the Company."
so have you indulged in any such above Act ?

The question of compensation will not arise because you have not worked for 240 days (over a period of 12 months in the preceding year). But the appointment order clearly says that termination should be on the basis of any reason and that also with a notice of two months or payment in lieu of notice. In the absence of any misconduct the termination should be with notice only. Even this clause will not legally stand because termination due to misconduct is a stigmatic termination and before initiating such termination, if the employee concerned is not given an opportunity to be heard, such termination will be bad in law. Therefore, just including a clause that without notice one's employment shall be terminated for any misconduct will not be maintainable.
Still, the employer can put a clause in the appointment order that "during probation the employment shall be terminated without notice and without assigning any reason thereof". In such scenario, you should never show any "reason" for termination also. If you give any reason, then the employee should be given an opportunity to defend the charge/ that reason.
In my opinion, the second clause will require that two months notice or two months salary in lieu of notice should be given to the employee in this case.
