Employee's Contribution is considered as income under section 2(24) and allowed as a deduction if the same is credited to employee's PF account before the due date as per the EPF Act (Income tax section 36 (1)(va).
However there are cases in which court have decided that -
"If the employees’ contribution is not deposited by the due date prescribed under the relevant Acts and is deposited late, the employer not only pays interest on delayed payment but can incur penalties also, for which specific provisions are made in the Provident Fund Act as well as the ESI Act. Therefore, the Act permits the employer to make the deposit with some delays, subject to the aforesaid consequences. Insofar as the Income-tax Act is concerned, the assessee can get the benefit if the actual payment is made before the return is filed, as per the principle laid down in Vinay Cement."

if PF is deposit after due date. then employer share will be allowed if paid before due date of return.
employees contribution will be added as income of employer.
sec 36(1)(va) says it will not be allowed if it is deposited after due date. So employee's share will be taxable as income
