provident fund


This query is : Resolved 

22 November 2007 according to sec 36 of PGBP of income tax act we cannot get deduction of employees contribution of provident fund from business income if we do not deposit it within due date or grace period of 5 days.
IS IT TRUE?

22 November 2007 As the contribution of employees has not been made before due date it is treated as an income of employer Therefore the same has to be taxed.
Thus, it is Disallowed.

22 November 2007 Your Observation is correct. Pl. refer Example at Para 49.6.E1 in Page A-113 of 30th edition of the Singhania' Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner
