Dear Parimal,
Concerned employee is giving in writing to deduct his 80% of salary there is no issue. On your own you cannot deduct salary more than 1/3 of salary. Keep the letter in his personal file.

Total deduction from wages or salary can not exceed 50% of gross wages / salary
(75% where it includes amount of contribution to coop society or repayment of loan to coop society). This includes all statutory dues (except perhaps income tax).
However, only items listed as deductible under sec 6 and 7 of the pay,net of wages act can be deducted from salary. Any other amount deducted, even if below 50% is illegal
As stated by others, payment of wages act applies only up to a salary of 18000 per month. However, it is good practice to follow similar rules for employees with salary beyond that also. It ensures the person has enough to sustain himself during the month.

If you are making cash payment, do not show deduction in pay sheet. While making salary payment, deduct the loan amount and give him separate receipt.
If you are making salary by cheque or net payment, you make entire salary and take separate cheque from him towards repayment and give him separate receipt.

Please note that under payment of wages act, any amount paid by the employee to the employer or his agent is equivalent to deduction from salary. So by giving full salary and then taking part back is not going to solve any problem.
