Dear Hetal,

I think that your query mainly focuses on the deductions to be made from the wages/salary of the employees. The relevant law in this regard is the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. Sections 7 to 13-A of the Act enumerate the various kinds of deductions and the manner in which they are to be made.
