There is no such rule at present. Employees as well as employers may have to shell out more towards Employees Provident Fund (EPF), with the government proposing to include all allowances in the wages for deducting PF contribution.

Is it mandatory that the basic salary should be 50% of total gross salary?

It is not mandatory it is left to the option of employers. Salary structure is fixed in such a way that employees get maximum tax benefit.
CTC: Cost to company Gross Salary: Basic+DA,HRA,Conveyance,Mediacl and other allowances Net Salary: Gross-Deductions(PF,ESI,LOP,Loan in advance)
Basic = 50% of the salary in metro cities & 40% in non metro cities(Some companies follow 30 to 35% slab for Contract employee) HRA = 50% of the Basic salary Conveyance = 800 per month Medical Alloawance = 1250 per month Education = It is based on employee grade Performance commission = to balance off the gross Other allowances: Uniform,Coupons,etc.,
