26 October 2010My salary statement has the following heads
Gross salary, LOP, PF, ESI, Profession tax, net salary
When I want to book a salary in tally, how should I do it? should I book in gross salary or in net salary? If in gross salary what is the entry to be passed?

Hi John,
You have to pass a entry for GROSS SALARY.
All the deductions show as a 'LIABILITIES'. When your company will pay these amounts to respective bodies, then deduct liability created by that payment.
But I didn't get the logic why you wanna credit net salary to 'Provision for Salary'. Net salary directly go to Cash / Bank account. If you want to show 'Salary Payable' then simply pass journal entry as -
Salary Account DR
to Salary Payable A/c.
