Additions towards the amount of Employees Provident Fund and ESI beyond the due date, but prior to filing of return - Employee's contribution - application of Section 36(1)(va) r.w.s. 2(24)(x) alone is the proper course and any other interpretation would only defeat the object and scope of both the provisions viz., 43B and 36(1)(va).
