Short answerPF and ESI contributions must be deposited by the 15th of the following month. Late deposit attracts interest and damages, and PF dues not paid by the due date are also disallowed as a business expense.

15th of next month

Both PF and ESI for a month are due by the 15th of the next month.

Late = interest + disallowance

Beyond interest and damages, late employee PF can be disallowed under the income-tax law.
