IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS A COMPANY WITHIN THE MEANING OF COMPANIES ACT BASIC PAY CANNOT BE REDUCED.

Even if basic pay is reduced and even PF deduction is proportionately reduced accordingly even then it is not a bar under EPF & MP Act, 1952.

Can you site the relevant provision of ibid act which prohibits so?
