I wanted to know whether there is any slab or ceiling to be considered as minimum amount as basic pay which can be considered for ascertaining pf contribution for an employee whose gross monthly salary is 6500 as per the existing minimum wages rules in Delhi.
is is permissible to fix basic as any amount like 500 or 1000 and rest amount be structured as DA, HRA, medical allowance, commuting allowance etc.?
pls. help me out to get clarity on the issue.

(iii) any presents made by the employer;
For the purposes of this section dearness allowance shall be deemed to include also the cash value of any food concession allowed to the employee.
Retaining allowance means an allowance payable for the time being to an employee of any factory or other establishment during any period in which the establishment is not working for retaining his services.
