Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Provident Fund (PF) calculation rules. While there isn't a fixed ratio for Basic + Dearness Allowance + House Rent Allowance, the basic salary is generally the primary component for PF calculation, often recommended to be at least 40% of total salary. Recent changes may include more allowances in the calculation. All employees receiving salary and PF benefits are typically covered under PF rules, with employers contributing 12% of the salary.

No there is no fixed ratio for pf calculation
No all employees getting salary and Pf benefits shall be included
Yes, basic should be minimum 40% of total salary,
PF is on basic salary only. But recently there is change, not sure, that all allowances are also considered in calculation. Right now all employees are covered under PF rules.
But pf is 12% on salary provided by employers
No there is no fixed ratio
