Dear Debojit,
There is no restriction for reduction in Basic as a percentage of the total salary.
But the Employees Provident Fund Act, restrict reduction in Basic Salary in amount terms (in rupee terms).
thus us can go ahead in reduction of Basic in percent terms but not in amount terms.
Hope this clarifies.
