</pre>

Hi friends, as i have explained in the above table i would like to know that the recent salary of the Employee which means the EmpId is getting repeated here and want distinct EmpId which is not getting repeated based on the Id.
Any help will appreciated. Thanks in advance.

do you have any payment date or primary key at the table where the "sal" column is ?

Try this:

SQL

select id, deptid, empid, sal from table1 t1 where
id = (select top 1 id from table1 where t1.empid = empid order by id desc)

This is slightly complicated, since you are going to have to rely on the Id values being in ascending numeric order - if you can, you should consider time-stamping the rows instead to give you a "proper", defined sort order.
This is because SQL server can return records in any order unless you explicitly specify an ORDER BY clause or similar.
So... try this:

SQL

SELECT m.id, m.deptId, m.empId, m.sal
   FROM MyTable m
   LEFT JOIN MyTable n ON m.empId = n.empId AND m.id < n.id
WHERE n.id IS NULL
