Hi,
There are multiple interpretations. The employee will not work during suspension period and he/she is eligible for subsistence allowance and there is no salary paid and there is no scope for statutory deduction. However there have been court verdicts in favour of statutory deduction during suspension period. Please refer the following link.

It is better you consult a Labour Advocate/Labour Consultant.
