Basic ; 14000/-
hra : 7000/-
cca : 10000/-
other allowance: 4000/-

Or can he be considered as an exempted employee.

Dear Anony,
Yes it is mandatory to deduct PF in the aforesaid case. PF can be exempted only when an employee earns a basic of more than INR 15,000 at the time of joining and was not a member of EPFO ever before.
However, i suggest everyone to subscribe for PF. It's the only retirement and social security scheme available to us, working class, and the returns are much higher than bank FDs.
