Your statement that P.F contribution is to be paid only on basic pay but not on DA is legally not correct. I invite your attention to Sec.6 of the P.F Act 1952 which states that the contribution shall be payable on Basic wages + Dearness allowance + retaining allowance + cash value of food concession if any.An employer cannot decide as to what componenents of salary shall be included for P.F contribution when the Act unambiguously passes a direction in this regard. Howver the effort you made by way of an example to show as to how to compute the contribution is admirable.

Dear Ms. Haripriya,
Kindly go thru the P.F.Manual. P.F.Deduction can be made Basic + DA and not other allowances subject to a limit of Rs.6500/- from the employer side. Further it is obligatory on the part of the employer to deduct on higher wages.
Regards.

Dear Asha ji,
Here is your clarification on PF see attachment. Further :
A/C NO.1 :- From Employee 12% + Employer 3.67%
A/C No.2 :- 1.1 % (it's called PF admin charges)
A/C No.10 :- 8.33 % (pension)
A/C No. 21 :- 0.5% (E.D. L.I)
A/C No.22 :- 0.01 % (EDLI admin charges)
Note:- The PF Ceiling amount is Rs.6500 /- if the Basic salary is >= 6500 /- the pension salary will be paid Rs.541 and remaining goes to PF i.e A/C NO.1.
