First you should check the minimum wages act. For each desiganation first you arrive at the minimum wages as per minimum wages act.
After arriving at the minimum fix the nearest figure to that as Basic and DA because PF and ESI has to be paid on bais only and balance you apportion to conveyance, hra, medical, child education et.,
This will reduce the pf and esi burden and also it will be a measure for tax planning also.
