Question Help with saving file in desired format

Hi

I have the following file in the unix named emp.

Code:
ID,NAME,SAL,DEPT
101,aaa,2000,10
102,bbb,3000,20
103,ccc,4000,30
104,ddd,5000,40
105,aaa,2000,50
106,bbb,3000,60
107,ccc,4000,70
108,ddd,5000,10
109,aaa,2000,80

I need to save first 3 columns(ID, NAME, SAL) in another file with .txt format.I have used cut command as follows.

Code:
cut -d ","  | -f 1,2,3 emp > employee.txt

this command worked in cutting first three columns but the problem is the fields are coming in a straight line in "employee.txt" as follows

Code:
101,aaa,2000,10 102,bbb,3000,20 103,ccc,4000,30 104,ddd, 5000,40105,aaa,2000,50 106,bbb,3000,60

but i want the fields to be arranged like it was arranged in unix file like a table.

Plz help me in this regard.
