Dear Experts, 

Kindly advise me ;

RG1 register (Daily Stock Account) is to be maintain compulsory under Rule 10 of C.E.Rules, 2002 or

if we maintain it in Excel sheet with daily entries, at the end of the month, we will take print out (Hardcopy) , is it satisfied under the law or not or RG1 register in Manual form mandatory?
