<h1>Return of excisable goods and CENVAT credit: quarterly ER-3 reporting of production, duty and credit utilisation.</h1> Quarterly ER-3 return requires assessees to report registration, itemised manufacture and clearance (CETSH, quantities, assessable value, multiple duty rates), and separate disclosures for export under bond and provisional assessments. It records duty payable by category and challan details, summarises account-current cash payments and balances, and provides detailed CENVAT schedules: opening balance, credits taken (inputs, capital goods, imported, services), total credit, specific utilisations (duty on goods, removals, Rule 6 payments, tax on services, other payments) and closing balance, plus entries for arrears, interest and miscellaneous payments and a self-assessment declaration.
