The rule for adjustment of **CENVAT Credit** and **utilization from PLA (Personal Ledger Account)** or **RG23A/RG23C** registers (older terms) for principal goods under **Central Excise** laws, as per rules applicable **prior to GST implementation (pre-2017)**, is summarized below:
---
### ✅ **CENVAT Credit Utilization:**
Under the **CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004**, a manufacturer could avail credit of duty paid on **inputs**, **capital goods**, and **input services** used in the manufacture of **final dutiable goods**.
---
### 🔁 **Adjustment Hierarchy (Pre-GST):**
1. **First, utilize available CENVAT Credit** (i.e., from RG 23A/Part II or electronic CENVAT register).
2. If **CENVAT Credit is insufficient**, then the balance duty liability must be paid via **PLA** (Personal Ledger Account) in cash.
---
### 📘 Example:
If Excise duty payable on final product = ₹1,00,000
* Available CENVAT Credit = ₹70,000
* Then ₹70,000 is debited from CENVAT register (electronic form after 2015)
* Remaining ₹30,000 is paid via PLA (cash)
---
### 🏛️ Relevant Rules:
* **Rule 3** of **CENVAT Credit Rules, 2004** (for availment and utilization of credit)
* **Rule 8 of Central Excise Rules, 2002** (payment of duty)
---
### 📒 Notes:
* CENVAT credit could only be used to pay **duty on final products**, not for penalties, interest, or exempted goods unless conditions were met.
* Proper **matching of input and output records** was essential.
* **Capital goods credit** could be claimed 50% in year of receipt, rest in subsequent years.
---
### 🛑 Post-GST Context:
After **July 1, 2017**, Central Excise and PLA ceased for most goods (except petroleum products and tobacco). GST subsumed CENVAT, and now **ITC (Input Tax Credit)** is used instead.

Would you like a detailed illustration or format for how to show this adjustment in Excise ER-1 return?
