Actuarial deficit contributions to approved superannuation and gratuity funds are distinguished from ordinary annual contributions subject to prescribed ceilings. Payments made to bridge actuarially determined shortfalls and preserve a fund's ability to meet obligations are treated as deductible gap-funding contributions. While approval of a gratuity fund continues, assessment proceedings cannot re-examine compliance with its approval conditions. Employees' PF and ESI contributions may be disallowed only where payment misses a due date prescribed by the applicable regime. Where no such date exists, an audit-report date generated solely for e-filing purposes cannot establish delay. The disallowances concerning all three categories of contributions were deleted.
