Dear Raviaguva,
PF contribution is payable on Basic, DA and retaining allowance if any.
HRA, other allowances like conveyance, medical reimbursement, uniform etc. does not include in above i.e. Basic, DA and retaining allowance.
However, if your Basic and DA component is less than the MW rates as declared by the appropriate government to your category of employment, you are liable to pay contribution including on all allowances.

Dear Ravi ji,
You have to consider only Basic + DA for eligibility of PF membership. However, please note that:
1. If an employee is already a member of PF earlier, he should be covered under PF even his B+DA is above Rs. 15000.
2. Once a member of PF he is a member of PF even his B+DA is is increased and exceeds Rs. 15000.
Retaining allowance is given to employee just to retain him in employment when the employer is enable to provide work to him through out. This system of paying retaining allowance, I heard, is / was in existence in West Bengal.
