Difficult to say for sure - could you provide the output of EXPLAIN 
ANALYSE rather than just EXPLAIN?

Some other immediate observations:
1. Perhaps don't post to so many mailing lists at once. If you reply to 
this, maybe reduce it to pgsql-performance?
2. You don't say whether the row estimates are accurate in the EXPLAIN.
3. You seem to be needlessly coalescing personaldetails.masterid since 
you check for it being null in your WHERE clause
4. Do you really need to cast to numeric and generate a "sorting" column 
that you then don't ORDER BY?
5. Is ppid an id number? And are you sure it's safe to calculate it like 
that?
6. What is balance() and how long does it take to calculate its result?

I'm guessing point 6 is actually your problem - try it without the calls 
to balance() and see what that does to your timings.
