If any company (service based) is not providing any project to any new joinee, does that mean they are planning to fire the person?

No one will go through pain of hiring if they have no project.
However if you are on bench for months, thats a red flag. Talk to Resource manager or HR.

Most of the service based companies schedule your interviews right from day2 .you will in danger zone if you cross 3 months on bench

Not exactly, I've seen some people who were on bench/assigned for more than 8-9months but still no one was fired.

See, if you are not a high paid resource then its not much issue
It’s important you look for a project - cz if at any time company feels they are not making good profits- people on bench are first targets to be fired, high paid resources are at high risk.

Normally its not much issue until there is recession or loss to the company
