Recently I came across a news that due date for payment of Provident fund is 15th of the month following the month of payment of salary. Extension period is upto 20th of the month following the month of payment of salary after which penalty shall be imposed.

Is it True?

If yes, can you give me the source [sec no/rule no.etc] if I want to substantiate to my Seniors.
