CBEC long back in 2000 scraped the requirement of maintaining statutory forms. Now assessee can maintain these documents/information as per his/her/its requirement. Department can rely on the private records (mainly accounts books with inventory records) maintained by the assessee.
However some of the officers from excise still demand this record in the format as was prescribed earlier. (However, legally speaking, this is not the requirement)
So you can maintain these records in excel. However these records should any time tally with your accounts/private books/records as well as physical balance/qunatity.
