28 July 2010Hi friends, plz suggest me in this aspect:
Suppose we have made provision for excise duty on the closing stock of finished goods remaining on the date of balance sheet. The entry would be:
P&L A/c Dr
To Prov for ED
This is fine.
But my doubt is, in the next financial year, how will you adjust the 'Prov for ED' A/c

To Prov for Excise duty
In next year,
Reverse the same.... then actual excise duty ll be booked in nxt yr

Do you mean to say that it does not route through P&L a/c?
I want to make my doubt more clear.
1) When u purchase the raw material the entry would be:
Purchases A/c Dr 920
CENVAT Cr. A/c Dr 80
To Creditors A/c 1000
2) Later when the FG is sold the entry would be:
Debtors A/c Dr 2000
To Sales A/c 1840
To ED A/c 160
3) Payment entry:
ED A/c Dr 160
To CENVAT Cr. A/c 80
To PLA (Bank/cash) 80
This is how the accounting is done. Right?
Now, when I create a provision, do you mean to say, it does not route throug P&L A/c?
Please give me the entries also along with your suggestions.

I need the entries for creation of provision for the finished goods lying in stock as on the date of B/S.
And also the utilization of that provision.

PLEASE TELL WHAT KIND OF PROVISION YOU WANT TO KNOW.
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW FG STOCK ENTRY THEN IT WILL BE
CLOSING STOCK- FG DR
TO PROFIT & LOSS A/C
IF SOMETHING ELSE, THEN SPECIFY

I want to create the provision for ED as on date of BS i.e., 31st March
Is my entry correct?
Excise duty A/c (P&L A/c) Dr
To Provision for ED (Current liabilities and provisions)
If the above entry is correct, how will you close the Provision for ED A/c in the next year.

Hi Sandeep,
The next year, the provision entry will be reversed at the beginning. The very purpose of the entry will understood in light of the provisions contained in the Excise Law, whereby Excise Duty is attracted (LEVY) at the time of manufacture (of FG), but paid only at the time of removal (DELIVERY).
When FG is in stock, it is already manufacrured and therefore attracts levy of ED. But, this duty need not be paid till the time of removal. Since, the levy is attracted, the ED amount is "estimated" on the finished goods and entry passed. This is done to ensure that all the Assets and Liabilities are properly stated.
In fact the closing stock value is also increased by the same amount of duty (Refer Guidance Notes in this regard.) Net Result = In P&L A/c = Closing Stock stand increased, and an ED Expense also stands increased. In Balance Sheet = Stock on Asset includes ED. Current Liabilities includes ED on Closing STock.
Hope this clarifies.

Hi Sandeep
1. For Creation of Provision as at 31st March
ED A/c Dr (P&L A/c) (Not Part of Trading A/c)
To Provision for ED A/c (Balance Sheet - Current Liabilities and Provisions)
2. For inclusion in Closing Stock as at 31st March
No separate entry. The usual closing stock entry value is increased by estimated ED
Closing Stock A/c Dr
To Trading A/c
Next Year
3. By bringing in Opening Stock, automatically, it is debited to your trading account
4. Reversal Entry for Provision
Provision for ED A/c Dr
To ED A/c
Note: Generally ED is not routed through P&L Account or Trading A/c. It is considered outside of the Income Statement. Only in this case, for the limited purpose of creating a provision, it passes through P&L A/c (and not trading account).

i think entry should be
Finished stock a/c Dr
to provision for excise duty
the above entry is based on the fact that excise duty is chargable on the finished goods but payable on the time of removal. excise duty does not affect profit because seller collect it from buyer and pay to excise deptt.

I am having same trouble. I maintain my accounts in Tally (Accounts with Inventory). So I cannot manually make any entries to affect the values of closing stock (both finished goods and raw materials).
Till the day, I had no problems - as we were not providing for any Provision for Excise on Finished Goods. But this year, our auditors insist on making the provision. For the time being, in Provisional Balance Sheet (as prepared by the auditors), the Provision for Excise Duty on Finished Goods stands at Rs. 1.5 Lac and the value of Finished Goods is increased by the same.
Also they have calculated the provision for excise @ 12% - which is B.E.D. But the total Duty payable is @ 12.36% (including 2% Edu. Cess & 1% Sec. & Higher Sec. Edu. Cess). So is 12% provision correct.
But how do I bring this effect in my Tally accounting.
Also how do I reverse the same in the next year.
Please provide your guidance.
