For PF Calculation Minimum Wage Consider As Basic Or Not

Dear All,
can any one help me regarding PF, in that minimum wages consider as basic or other amount can consider as basic for PF calculation.

For Pf calculation max(ceiling) 6500 basic is to be considered ,if the basic amt is less than 6500 then actual amt is to taken for pf calculation.

P.F is to be calculated not merely on Basic but on basic+ D.a + retaining allowance. if any. If minimum wages paid are Rs.6500/- or less, you have to pay contribution on it.

Dear all,
maximum limit on which pf should be deducted is 6500 (basic), but it depends on company with mutual agreement with the employee that it is to be deducted if basic goes 6500+.

Dear all,
maximum limit of pf deduction is 780 rs (that is 12% of 6500), but it depends on company with mutual agreement with the employee that it is to be deducted more than 780 rs or not, if basic goes 6500+.

all of your suggestion are apart from the question.
Minimum wage is not basic amount.
You can bifurcate minimum wage in basic hra etc.
Suppose Haryana minimum wage is 4847.00 then u can divide it BAsic -3000.00 HRA-1347 Con-500
