Dearness allowance (D.A.) is part of a person's salary . D.A. is calculated as a percent of the basic salary. This amount is then added to the basic salary along with house rent allowance to get the total salary. Rates vary as per rural/urban areas etc.
PF is been deducted 12% of Basic+DA/ Basic only if DA is not there.
