Am I entitled to an annual leave payment if I resign during probation?

Hi

I have joined a company on 19 September 2021 and took unpaid leave (after approval) for 9 days. As per the offer letter, probation is 3 months but in the labor contract, it's 6 months.

They have been back and forth on my completion of the probation period so I don't know if I did complete the probation or not.

I resigned on 14 March 2022 and they asked me to serve a notice period which is until 31 March (if I didn't complete my probation why did they ask me to do a notice period?).

I took one day as sick leave and 1/2 day off due to an emergency.

Am I entitled to an annual leave payment during settlement?

If so how much?

Basic: 6000, Housing: 3000, and travel: 3000.

Since you have not completed 1 year period at work, you are not eligible for annual leave.

Please note that the employment contract prevails over the offer letter.
