PLA = Personnel Ledger Account this is basically used in excise to maintain the entries of cash(Cheque or e-payment) deposit and payment of duty from this amount throughout the year. if the input is less then payable duty then you have to deposit the balance amount in bank and put the entries in PLA register.
Excise Returns Are E.R-1 = for manufacturing units(not for SSI units) E.R.-2 = for 100% Export oriented unit E.R.-3 = for SSI units E.R.4 = Annual Return for all above units
