Hi,
In my company marketing guy is not able to achieve the target from last two months. Management decides to stop 30% of his months salary and will be given once he achieves the target. I want to know under which component in salary slip his salary with held is to be shown?

Shanu ji, You can show the 30% deduction under other / miscellaneous head (with a narration stating the facts) or under Performance linked incentives, if any. Hope it will useful Regards Krishna

You cannot deduct any fixed component for non performance unless otherwise provided in the appointment order. Such component, usually called the variable pay (which will vary depending upon the performance or achieving targets), should be there in the salary structure and in the absence of such a component of salary, you are not expected to deduct any portion of salary for non achieving the targets.

I completely agree with Madhu T. K.
You are running a huge risk by attempting to do this, if it is not mentioned in the appointment order. Your employer brand value as a company to work for, gets hit because the good performers will not really be interested in working for you. Your cost of acquisition as well as cost of vacant positions will increase because of the extra time required to fill your vacancies. You may be required to compromise on manpower quality now to fill vacancies, in which case, you will be back where you started vis-a-vis achievement of performance goals. A costly process, right?
Additionally, do you think it fair that the employee is being penalized in this method, but his managers are not? Since the manager's role is to support his team, he should also share in the deduction of such monies, and so on, this chain should go right to the top management since in this way, the organization will be seen as taking collective responsibility.
If anyone wishes to debate further, one can also say that inputs / support were provided, yet the employee did not deliver - I would state that the manager is still at fault because he and his seniors was a part of the hiring process. So again it is collective responsibility.
Just my thoughts.

Dear Friend
The 30% salary from your marketing employee could not be with held with management on the ground of his failure to reach targets. If you linked his salary with performance at the time of selection, it could be justified or this act of making deduction amounts to illegal deduction as per the provisions of payment of wages act and liable for penal action as well as penalty.
Thus instead of doing so, counsel the employee orally or by giving in writing asking him to improve his performance on job or else you are going to take against him for his poor performance in reaching targets set by management. For this you are require to take action against him under standing orders / service rules of company and follow the procedure as per the principles of natural justice for imposing punishment such as stopping increment / suspension / termination etc depending upon the findings of inquiry officer. But straight away you are not supposed to make punishment by withholding his 30% his salary which amounts victimization on your part.
