 E-way Bill System has been implemented from today across the country smoothly. The Finance Ministry said, as per decision of the GST Council, e-Way Bill system became mandatory from today for all inter-State movement of goods.
E-way bill is an electronic way bill for movement of goods which can be generated on the GSTN (common portal) - ewaybillgst.gov.in.
Movement of goods of more than 50 thousand rupees in value cannot be made by a registered person without an e-way bill. The e-way bill system will enable faster movement of goods through a seamless portal-driven payment system.
The implementation of the nationwide e-Way Bill mechanism under GST regime is being done by GSTN in association with the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
The Ministry said, the Central help desk of GST has made special arrangements with 100 agents exclusively dedicated to answer queries of taxpayers and transporters related to e-way bills. E-way Bill can be generated through various modes including Online, Android App and SMS.
Finance Ministry said, there is a provision for cancellation of e-way Bill within 24 hours by the person who has generated the e-way Bill. The recipient can also reject the e-way Bill within validity period of e-way bill or 72 hours of generation of the e-way bill by the consignor whichever is earlier.
Over 1.71 lakh inter-state e-way bills have been generated today. A total of over10 lakh 96 thousand taxpayers have registered on e-way bill portal till date. The Ministry said, over 19 thousand transporters, who are not registered under GST, have enrolled themselves on the e-way bill portal.
