Exclamation Is there a standard minimum height for interior (basement) doors?

I have some doors in my basement where the ceiling is a little low. I need to drop the height of the door opening enough so that the door and frame are not touching the ceiling. Is there a standard minimum height? Obviously, not so low that you bump your head while walking in . . .

Also - with the door frame - I'm putting these in before carpet/padding is installed. Does the door frame touch the concrete floor and carpet goes around it or is the door frame raised 1/2" above the concrete floor (like the baseboard that will go around the walls)? Thanks.
