Sec6- contributions shall be paid by employer  to the fund shall be Ten percent  of the basic wages ,dearness allowance and retaining allowance if any...is clear that Dearness allowance is also considered alongwith basic wages.If it is argument that minimum wages are basic wages plus dearness allowance so onlly basic wages are considered is not correct.present definition will include dearness allowance .Ofcourse legal position was different before 31/12/60then dearness allowance was not considered as wages.It is included in Sec.6 vide Act 46 of 1960,Sec.4for" and dearness allowance".W.E.F.31/12/60

To sum up dearness allowance should be included in calculation of contribution..
