PLA mean Personal Ledger Account. In the erstwhile rules there was a requirement to get the PLA number from the Central Excise Department but now there is no such requirement. It is a simple account of duty credit and debit. GAR 7 is the base document to deposit the duty in the authorized bank. On the basis of such deposition, assesse may avail the credit of the amount so deposited in the bank. Debit entries are made in PLA on the following events, viz:-

1. Removal of goods/Raw material/ components, capital goods etc.
2. Payment of Interest
3. Payment of Penalty
4. Payment of amount under Rule 6 of the CENVAT credit Rules etc.
