 I dont totally agree with priyanka...Normally the preceeding months' salary is paid in the First week of the succeeding month...the organisations are passing a journal voucher to create a liabiblity on salary of the preceeding month which is as follows.....

Dr.Basic Salary

Dr.Dearness allowance

Dr.All other allowances like{HRA,Conv,Edu,Misc etc}

Cr.PF Payable

Cr.ESIC payable

Cr.Professional tax payable

Cr.Income tax payable. Cr.Other recoveries{Salary advance,Company/Bank/society loan,Festival advance etc}

Cr.Salary payable {Net Salary payable to the Employee} 

At the time of payment of salary during the succeeding month, Organisations pass the folg entries in the Bank book / Cash Book  while making the payment through Cheque / Cash......

 

Dr.Salary payable a/c

Cr.Bank a/c

Cr.Cash a/c.
