Since the total of basic and DA exceeds Rs 21000, this employee is not eligible to get bonus.
In respect of an employee whose salary is not above Rs 21000, the bonus shall be calculated on a salary of Rs 7000 or the wages as per minimum wages notified by the government whichever is higher. If for your industry no minimum wages has been notified, then you can pay bonus on the presumption that the wages is Rs 7000 per month. If the minimum wages comes to Rs 13000, for example, you should take Rs 13000 as bonus qualifying salary.
