04 January 2010 PF is to be deducted on (basic salary+DA+Retaining Allowance).

where basic salary is the salary prevailing as at the time of accrual.

in your case you will have to check what basic salary is payable to an employee as at the date of payment/accural (considering 6th pay commission)

In nut shell you will have to consider salary enhanced by 6th pay commission also.
