hi, if the basic salary of the employee is above Rs.6500/- then is it compulsory to deduct 12% of the basic or is it ok if we deduct only Rs.780/- p.m.(12% of 6500) ?

It will be sufficient compliance with the Act if the PF is deducted on Rs. 6,500/- since the Act stipulates that the maximum salary shall be Rs. 6,500/-
The employer & the employee may agree to contribute on the total basic salary.
