After 90 days you are entitled to 75%. but refer to the Act on that behalf.
Kindly let us know the State you belong to as each state has a separate enactment.

In your repeat inquiry I have suggested you to do something immediately. Ask your employer to provide you a copy of standing orders of the company and also write a letter to the enquiry officer to provide you the same.
For present I must tell you that the power to suspend an employee is not an implied power. It should be either available in the contract of employer or rules framed under any statue i.e. Standing Order Act. In the absence of any power the suspended employee is entitled to full salary/increments/bonus everything which he would earn while on service. As I said I will guide you what to do when you have received a reply to your demand.
If you can understand the law, please go through the following cases
Hotel Imperial v Hotel workers' Union
1959 LLJ (II) 544
T. Cajee v U. Jormanik
1961 LLJ(I)652
Balwant Rai Ratilal Patel v State of Maharashtra
1968(II) LLJ 700
