09 September 2011 Dear Sir,

Our client has made delayed payment in the employees contribution to the ESI and PF in the month of May and August 2010.

should we disallow this expenditure in the income tax computation as per MAT??

For your information delayed payment is made before filing return.

Please reply

Thanks and Regards

20 September 2011 Computation of MAT is done as per Explanation 1 to Section 115JB.

Only, the items mentioned in the said explanation are to be added back.

Accordingly, contribution to PF & ESIC will not be disallowed.

Anyway, if the payments have been made before the due date of filing of return, Section 43B is not attracted. So no disallowance even in normal case.
