sorry, the previous reply is wrong. For getting deduction u/s 80 C it is not necessary that contribution in PPF a/c must be out of income, hence deduction is available for the contribution made at any time during the previous year. Inconveinence caused is regretted.

Under Income Tax Act,1961, if you are getting interest on PPF deposit any time during the year, it is exempt from tax hence it is not necessary to deposit the amount in beginning of the year or middle of the year or end of the year.
