Point mutation-A mutation related to a single base, whether it is substitution or insertion or deletion.

Frameshift mutation- Deletion or insertion of a base or bases leading to shift of frame is called frameshift mutation. It may be inframe or out of frame. If the deletion or insertion is in multiple of 3 bases then it will be inframe deletion or insertion. And if the deletion or insertion is in multiple of 1 or 2 then it is out of frame deletion or insertion.

So a frameshift mutation due to single base deletion or insertion will come under point mutation. But frameshift mutation due to deletion or insertion of more than 1 base will not come under point mutation.
