2) Paid within due date of return provided u/s 139(1) as per AIMIL (Delhi High Court)

Which one is correct ? What is correct Due Date ?

For employee's contribution - Due date as per relevant law and for employer's contribution it is due date u/s 139. Reading the text of sec. 36(1)(va) makes it clear. Actually it has been a debatable issue for long. Moreover Guj HC judgement of a latest one when compared to Delhi HC.
