It is not permissible to delay after it becomes due, because it is a right for those who are entitled to it. It is obligatory to invest the money so that Zakat does not deplete it, but it is not permissible to invest it through usury, such as placing it in savings accounts. It can be invested in Islamic banks as an investment deposit, or by giving it to someone who trades with it on a basis.
