I think the same question was answered many often.
It is not mandatory that the PF should be contributed only on a basic salary subject to a maximum of Rs 6500, but if the employees wishes that he should contribute on a higher amount, say, Rs 15000, he can do so. The percentage of 12 is the statutory minimum and if the employee wants to contribute a higher percentage he can do so. However, the employer can restrict his contribution to Rs 6500 and to 12%. If the terms of employment so requires the employer can also contribute higher percentage and on a higher amount. As such the employer's contribution and employee's contribution NEED NOT NECESSARILY be the same.
Regarding Basic salary and HRA proposition, there is no hard rule but it is decided according to the company's internal policies.
