You should first find out what needs to be done as per the law. I will narrate the option accordingly.

Thats the only reason why I suggest not to play unnecessarily with Excise & service tax.

I had seen where people modify these on projects, test them with normal cases without exploring the maximum number of permutations and combinations (without referring to core business people, or the law) and leave.
Then again the next lot of peoples end up correcting the values manually.

To the best of my knowledge as per law it depends on the situation.

Case I
Excess Excise Credit wrongly received has been utilised. In such a case there is liability of interest and penalty.

Case II

Excess Excise Credit wrongly received has not been utilised. In such a case there is no liability of interest and penalty. Just correction entry needs to be passed in books. Same should be explained to department at the time of audit or before that if the question is raised by dept.

You need to pass the excise JV to create the liability and then use the PLA deposit to adjust. No need of manual correction.

You will again pass the excise JV and then use RG 23 A/C to adjust it. Again no need of manual correction.
