What is Personal Ledger Account or PLA? 
How is it maintained? 
June 20, 2013 
Personal ledger Account is an account with the Central 
Government, which is utilized for payment of duty of excise. The 
account is credited when the sum is deposited into the treasury 
and debited on payment of excise duty. Each debit and credit entry 
should be made on separate lines and assigned a running serial 
number for the financial year. The PLA must be prepared in 
triplicate by writing with an indelible pencil and using double sided 
carbon.Original and duplicate copies of PLA shall be sent to the 
Central Excise Officer in chargealong with the monthly/quarterly 
return. 
The assessee may make credit in the PLA by making cash payment 
into the treasury or authorised bank through TR-6 challan. Copy of 
each such challan shall be sent by the assessee to the Central 
Excise Officer along with the monthly/quarterly return. 
No restrictions exist with regard to any minimum amount, which 
should necessarily remain in balance to the credit of an assessee in 
his PLA. With the monthly payment system, there should be enough 
credit at the time of payment of duty for the month. 
Mutilations or erasures of entries once made in the PLA are not 
allowed. If any correction becomes necessary, the original entry 
should be scored out and attested by the assessee or his 
authorized agent.

When any company or manufacturer buys his good from supplier, 
supplier  has to get his money and excise duty on these goods. 
After its production, when manufacturer sells these goods to his 
customers and distributors, he will get his money and excise duty. 
On this received excised duty, he will get the power ofexcise credit 
on his purchased goods under Cenvat Act. It means, he will deduct 
his total paid or payable excise duty from total received or 
receivable excise duty and balance, he will deposit in Govt. account. 
It is just same like VAT rules. Following are the main journal entries 
which are relating to excise or excise duty.In the Books of
