1.1 Introduction
The Central Board of Excise and Customs has issued a notification making e-filing mandatory for
assessees with effect form 1-4-2010. As per the Notification, all the registered Excise Manufactur-
ers who have paid total duty of rupees ten lakhs or more including the amount of duty paid by uti-
lization of CENVAT credit in the preceding financial year to file the monthly return, electronically
under sub-rule (1) of Rule 12 of the Central Excise Rules, 2002.

To assist and manage e-filing, Central Board of Excise & Customs has set up an e-governance
portal – Automation of Central Excise and Service Tax (ACES) [http://aces.gov.in]

1.1.1 E-Filling of Form ER 1
Currently, ACES application allows filing Monthly/Quarterly Return for the Registered Manufactur-
ers online who are accessing the ACES site through PCs / Internet Browsers.
To make E- filing easy for the Excise Manufacturers to file returns in Automation Of Central Excise
And Service Tax (ACES), department has given the options of off line filing using Excel utility or
XML schema.

XML Schema is a language for describing the structure and constraining
the contents of XML documents

Assessees who are not maintaining the records in computerised system, can down load the Excel
utility and enter the details manually, validate and upload the Excel utility.
Assessees who have computerized systems in place and can generate their return from their
existing application, department has given the process to prepare return in XML format validate
and upload the ER 1 return. Benefits of using the XML schema is that if user is having huge data
to upload instead of entering manually they can use their application for generating XML schema.

1.2 Generating ER 1 E-Returns fromTally.ERP 9
Meeting all the requirements of E-Returns, Tally.ERP 9 now provides the option to generate
monthly return with a click of a button.
For generating E-Returns from Tally.ERP 9, let us take the example of ABC Company which is
registered as per Excise Rules and engaged in Manufacturing.

1.2.1 Generate ER 1 E-Returns

To generate ER 1 E-Returns

Go to Gateway of Tally > Display > Statutory Reports > Excise Reports > Manufacturer > E-
Return

Figure 1.1 Excise Manufacturer Reports Menu

 Press Enter to view Exporting ER 1 E-Return screen

2


Exporting ER 1 E-Return screen appears as shown

Figure 1.2 Export Screen for ER 1 E-Return

Press Backspace to provide Return’s Period, Place, Date of generating e-returns and other
details
 Excise Unit: As Tally.ERP 9 allows creating and maintaining accounts of multiple units in a
single company and allows to generate Excise Unit-wise e-returns. Excise Unit field is pro-
vided to select the Excise unit for which E-Return to be generated. Example: ABC Com-
pany.
 Language: Language is fixed to Restricted (ASCII Only) and the application will not allow
to move the cursor to change the language.
 Format: Format is fixed to XML (Data Interchange). Currently, the ACES application sup-
ports the uploading of E-Returns generated in XML format from computerised systems.
Hence, the XML (Data Interchange) is defaulted and application does not allow to change
the export format.
 Export Location: By default, it displays the path where Tally.ERP 9 is installed. In Export
Location field enter the details of the path to where the XML file to be exported.

3


Ensure a copy of ACES_ER1.xsd file is copied to the folder (Tally.ERP 9 folder) to
which the E-Return is getting exported. ACES_ER1.xsd file is required because on
exporting the XML E-Return from Tally.ERP 9, the ACES_ER1.xsd validates the
data structure of the E-Returns generated automatically.
If the ER1 E-Return generated form Tally.ERP 9 is not validated ACES_ER1.xsd,
while uploading such ER1 E-Returns ACES application displays the error & will not
allow to upload the file.

 Output File Name: Tally.ERP 9 by default displays the Output File Name in the Format as
specified under E-Return Requirements.
The E-Return Requirement has clearly indicated that the E-Return File Format should - 15
Digit ECC Number_ Month Date Year Hour Minutes Seconds AM/PM.xml
Example: AAACS6092DXM001_02042011122546PM.xml

Tally.ERP 9 allows the user to change the Output File Name while generat-
ing the e-return in XML format.
But to upload the E-Returns, assessee has to follow the file name struc-
ture as specified under E-Returns Requirement. If the File name struc-
ture is different then, the ACES application will not allow the Assessee to
upload the Returns.
 From: In this field enter the period (1-12-2010) from where the return to be generated.
 To: In this field enter the till (31-12-2010) date to generate the return

By default the period in From and To date filed will be displayed based on the last
date of the entry in the books of accounts.

 Place: In this field enter the place of generating the return
 Date: In this field enter the Date on which e-Return is generated
 Remarks: In this field enter the details as Monthly Return for 31-12-2010 to 31-12-2010

From and To period, Place, Date and Remarks are Mandatory fields. If the
Assessee generates the returns without or incomplete details, the e-return
generated will show the errors for the missing details.

4


 Validation: This field will be displayed in Exporting ER1 E-Return screen only when the
HSN code defined in Tariff Classification is not correct, If the finished goods cleared
(sold) have Negative Stock, Stock Items without valid Reporting UOM and Excise sales
recorded with Notification Number but the Notification Type is not defined.
By default, Validation option will be set to Yes. Press Enter to view the E-Return Valida-
tion Screen
E- Return Validation screen appears as shown

Figure 1.3 E-Return Validation screen

E- Return Validation screen displays the Type of Error with the Error Count. To rectify the error,
select the error type and press Enter.

1.2.1.1 Excise Reporting UOM Validation

Under Central Excise Tariff Act, for every excise stock item Unit of Quantity is defined.
Example: Unit of Quantity is U for Numbers
The act also makes it clear that all the reports relating to stock items are required to be indicated
with the relevant Unit of Quantity as specified under Central Excise Tariff Act. It even applies to
E-returns. In Tally.ERP 9 Unit of Quantity is termed as Reporting UOM.
In case, the users are not using the Defined Unit of Quantity as Reporting UOM for the stock
items then it is must to assign the appropriate Unit of Quantity to generate E-Returns. If there are
any differences in the Unit of Quantity defined in the item master then the application will show the
discrepancies for validation till such mistakes are corrected.

5


In Tally.ERP 9, while creating the stock item application gives the option to define
the Base Unit and Reporting UOM.
As per Central Excise Act, in all the reports relating to stock items are required to
be indicated with the relevant Unit of Quantity as specified under Central Excise
Tariff Act. All the reports will display the Stock item details based on the reporting
UOM selected

Following are the Unit of Quantity defined under Central Excise Tariff Act

Unit of Quantity Description
1KKWH 1000 Kilowatt Hours
C/K Carats
CM Centimetre
CM3 Cubic Centimetre
G Grams
GI F/S Gram of Fissile Isotopes
KG Kilograms
KL Kilolitre
L Litre
M Metre
M2 Square Metre
M3 Cubic Metre
MM Millimetre
MT Metric Tonnes
PA Number of Pairs
Q Quintal

Excise Reporting UOM can be updated from
1. Excise Reporting UOM Validation
2. Stock Item Alteration
3. Reporting UOM

1. Excise Reporting UOM Validation
From Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen update (assign) the stock items with appropriate
reporting UOM where the reporting UOM defined for the stock items is not the Unit of Quantity
defined under Central Excise Tariff Act.
Select No/Invalid Excise Reporting UOM for Stock Item and press Enter to view Excise
Reporting UOM Validation screen

Figure 1.4 Excise Reporting UOM Validation Screen

Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen displays the details of Name of Stock Item, Tariff
Name, HSN Code and Units.

In Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen Tally.ERP 9 will display the stock
Items which are identified as Finished Goods & Capital Goods (Stock Item Type).

In Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen specify the appropriate Excise Reporting UOM to
each single item. If the Reporting UOM selected is different than the Units (Base Unit) cursor will
move to Conversion Factor section to define the conversion factor.

The completed Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen appears as shown

Figure 1.5 Completed Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen

From Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen the Excise Reporting UOM and
Conversion Factor has to be specified for each stock item.
Excise Reporting UOM Validation screen displays the items with the stock Item
Type - Finished Goods for which transactions (manufacturing Journal/ Excise
Sales) are recorded.

2. Stock Item Alteration (Update Single Stock Item)
In this method Reporting UOM is updated one stock item at a time by identifying the stock items
which have the reporting UOM which is not the Unit of Quantity as defined under Central Excise
Tariff Act.
To understand how to update single stock item, let us take the example of stock item which have
the Reporting UOM as LTR. In ABC Company the stock items to which the Unit of measurement -
LTR is used, the applicable Unit of Quantity is L.

To update the stock item,
Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory info. > Stock Items > Alter (Single Stock Item) > select
DAX SUPER MG 20 W 40 from the List of Stock Items

To define the Reporting UOM
 Tab down to Set/Alter Excise Details field and set the option to Yes.

Press Enter. If the Reporting UOM selected is different than the Units (Base Unit) cursor will
move to Conversion Factor section to define the conversion factor.

Figure 1.8 Defining Conversion Factor

The List of Excise Reporting UOM displays the details of existing Reporting
UOM, Excise UOM and Description.
The existing Reporting UOM created by the users will also be available under the
Reporting UOM list without any description. The existing Reporting UOM once
replaced with the actual Reporting UOM will disappear from the list and will not be
available for selection.
Reporting UOM defined for the stock item will be considered as Unit of Quantity
for all the Excise Reports including E-Returns.

 Retain the other settings.
 Press Enter to save Excise Details and Stock Item Alteration

3. Reporting UOM (Update Multiple Stock Items)
In case of companies which have many stock items for which the Reporting UOM is different than
Unit of Quantity defined under Central Excise Tariff Act and doesn't want to define the Reporting
UOM to each item then user can use multi-stock Reporting UOM alteration option- Reporting
UOM available in Tally.ERP 9

To update Reporting UOM for multiple Stock Items,
Go to Gateway of Tally > Inventory Info. > Update Excise Info. > Reporting UOM
 Select the required Excise Unit (if multiple Units are available)

Tally.ERP 9 allows to update Reporting UOM to stock items in three ways
 Excise Unit - wise
 Tariff - wise
 Base Units - wise

i. Excise Unit - wise
Excise Unit-wise update allows to define the reporting UOM to all the excise Stock items of the
Excise Unit.
To update reporting UOM, In Select Excise Unit screen
 Name of Excise Unit: If company has more than one excise unit select the appropriate
Excise Unit from the List of Excise Units to update the Reporting UOM to the stock items
belonging to the excise unit selected. if in the company has only one excise unit then that
excise Unit name will be displayed by default.
 Name of Tariff: Select Any from the list
 Name of Base Units: Select Any from the list and press enter to view Update Excise
Reporting UOM screen

Here Name of Tariff and Name of Base Units are set Any, because ABC
Company wants to view all the excise stock items of the excise unit.

11


The Update Excise Reporting UOM screen is displayed as shown:

Figure 1.9 Update Reporting UOM screen

Observe, the Update Excise Reporting UOM screen displays all the stock items created under
the Excise Unit - ABC company.
In real business scenario an excise manufacturer may be dealing in excise stock items having
same reporting UOM or different reporting UOM’s.
 If all the items created in the excise unit have single Reporting UOM then, in Excise
Reporting UOM field select the applicable Excise UOM from the List of Excise Report-
ing UOM.
Example: For all the excise Items of ABC company Unit of Quantity is KG then select KG
in Excise Reporting UOM field. On selection of Excise Reporting UOM the same will be
displayed for all the items.

1.2.1.3 Negative Quantity Validation
In a Manufacturing industry the Finished goods stock will be available for sale only when those
goods are manufactured. In Tally.ERP 9 the manufacture of goods are accounted through Manu-
facturing Journal or Excise Stock journal
If the excise stock items created and identified as Finished Goods are sold without recording the
manufacturing journal or Excise Stock Journal then in excise reports - Daily Stock Register
and Form ER 1 the Closing Balance of Stock item will be displayed as Negative Stock.
While generating ER 1 E-Return if there are any stock items (Finished Goods) with negative stock
such stock items will be displayed in Negative Quantity Validation screen with the remarks as
Record Manufacturing Journal indicating that Manufacturing Journal is not recorded to account
the manufacture of stock.
Select Negative Quantity and press Enter to view Negative Quantity Validation screen

To correct the negative quantity record a Manufacturing Journal or Excise Stock Journal for
the items displayed as Negative Stock.
Check Daily Stock Register to know when the Excise Stock has become Negative and accord-
ingly record the manufacturing Journal in appropriate period.

20


1.2.1.4 Identify Notification Type - Tariff/Non-Tariff
As per the E-Return requirement when the same finished goods are cleared locally as well as
exported then the details of clearances have to be captured separately based on the Notifica-
tion Type - whether under Tariff or Non-Tariff Notification
 Tariff Notification - Tariff notification are issued to make amendments to excise tariff act
i.e. to make amendments to duty rates. The rate can be either exempted or concessional
rate.
 Non-Tariff Notification - NT notification are issued to make amendments or to give effect

Configuration screen displays 3 configuration options
 Show Excise Duty Amount Round Off: By default, this option will be set to
Yes because, the ER 1 E-Return Requirement has clearly stated that all the
duty amount has to rounded off to the nearest Rupee.
Round Off Quantity to Two decimals: By default this option will be set to Yes
because the ER 1 E-return requirements has clearly stated that Quantity can
be in Decimals.
Nil Return: By default this option will be set to No. Set this option to Yes if you
want to generate Nil Return for a month in which there are transaction carried
out but wants to pay the duty of the previous period with penalty or interest.

If the user generates E-Returns by setting the option Show Excise Duty
Amount Round Off to No, the ACES application will not allow the Assessee to

Note: Users can verify the correctness of the E-Returns generated from
Tally.ERP 9. The Excise department has provided a XSD file using which
the xml has to be validated and then uploaded to the department website.
XSD stands for XML Schema Definition. XSD specifies how to formally
describe the elements in an XML document. This description can be used
to verify that each item in the XML document adheres to the description of
the element in which the content is to be placed.
There are various tools available on net that can be downloaded for validat-
ing an XML against the XSD file. For ex. EditiX 2010, Stylus studio..etc.
EditiX 2010 is a freeware.
To compare the data structure of file generated from Tally.ERP 9 to the data
structure provided by the Excise Department:
 Copy ACES_DLR.xsd file into Tally.ERP 9 folder
 Open the Returns generated form Tally.ERP 9 in any of the XML vali-
dation tools like EditiX 2010, StylusStudio etc. (tool which is used to
check the correctness of the XML files)
 Click on the option Validate, the tool compares the structure to
ACES_DLR.xsd file available in Tally.ERP9 folder and gives the Out-
put as Valid (If there are no errors) or will displays the errors found in
the document.
