When is the best time to ask for a salary raise?

Never. It is your manager's job to know who in her/his team is up for promotion / payrise / whatever perk in line with possibilities (budgets, positions) available. Asking for raise presumes that your manager is an idiot, and that is not good, to put it mildly.

After achieving at least three outstanding performances in a fiscal year, prepare a report to be presented to your director and senior management. Depending on when the fiscal year is and whether your company need to budget your raise in it, but mostly it should be around November.

It depend on my reputation, achievements and my relationship with my manager - management  in this company, but in general after one year i should ask to do so 

Never ask for increment but always talk about your performance s, requirements and opportunities.

It is not right to ask direct for a raise. But I always show my effort to the director. If he/she doesn't recognise that you deserve a raise, it is better to seek for another opportunity.

I don't tii there is something as a "good" or "best" time, but for sure there are very bad moments. Generally, "best" time is whenever you are after several outstandings performances on the job, with the condition that the company is not experiencing cost cutting or financial crisis.

I agree with Jasmina to the extent that the manager should know when you deserve a raise. However I will go one step further, in case you feel that you are not being paid as per market standards clubbed with your performance then either you are in the wrong place or you are not willing to explore the market (accept a change). If your performance speaks for itself then the market will know about the same and the manager too will be aware of the same. Again I never "ask" for anything as in case I feel I am being underpaid then I just look for opportunities and then for sure, I will not turn back to the same organisation even if given a raise as it will then be presumed that whenever you leave the manager just has to give you a hike and you will stay back.  The manager/management must recognise talent as it cannot be hidden.

Working after one year should request him for rise salary while your boss is in a happy mode.

 

Achieve at least three outstanding performances which are visible to your manager and senior management, build up rapport with your manager and then ask for raise.

When you have another JOB IN HAND and you know you are exploited and underpaid.

It all depends on the culture of the company, some managers do not recognize your effort unless you ask for a raise while others do recognize by themselves and will appreciate it
