__________sub system deals with payment of wages and salary to employees.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Pay Roll Accounting is the subsystem that deals with payment of wages and salary to employees.

This subsystem handles all aspects related to employee compensation including:

  • Calculation of gross wages/salaries based on attendance, working hours, or piece rates
  • Deductions like Provident Fund (PF), Employee State Insurance (ESI), Tax Deducted at Source (TDS), professional tax
  • Computation of net salary (Gross salary - Deductions)
  • Recording of salary payments in books of accounts
  • Maintenance of employee records and salary registers

The other options deal with different areas:

Fixed Assets Accounting → Records and manages long-term assets like land, buildings, plant and machinery

Purchase and Accounts Payable → Handles purchase of goods/services and payments to suppliers/creditors

Inventory → Manages stock of goods including raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods

Since the question specifically mentions "wages and salary to employees", Payroll Accounting is the dedicated subsystem for this function.
