20 October 2009 if any tax dues are paid before filing the return within the due date are allowable expenses. Further, any interest paid(otherthan penalties) are allowable expenses.under Section 36 and 37 of IT Act.

21 October 2009 I beg to differ from the above.
Employers contribution is allowable u/s 43B of income tax act even in case of delay but employees contribution not allowable u/s 36(1)(va) in case of delay of even 1 day and it will never be allowed and it applies to any sum received by the assessee from his employees as contributions to any provident fund or superannuation fund or any fund set up under the provisions of the Employeesâ€™ State Insurance Act, 1948 (34 of 1948), or any other fund for the welfare of such employees.
