Both are due by the 15th of the following month. PF (employee and employer share, plus administrative charges) is paid with the monthly ECR on the EPFO portal, and ESI contributions are paid on the ESIC portal for the same wage month. For example, wages for October are due by 15 November.
Late payment attracts interest and, in the case of PF, possible damages, so it helps to set a reminder for the 15th. Confirm any special case, such as a holiday on the due date, with your CA or the respective portal.
