E-way Bill

Centre looks at backup options to introduce e-way bill in a phased manner

<div>
	E-way bill or Electronic-way bill is a document introduced under the GST regime that needs to be generated before transporting or shipping goods worth more than Rs 50,000 within state or inter-state.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	It is usually a unique bill number generated for the specific consignment involving the movement of goods.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>

<div>
	The physical copy of e-way bill must be present with the transporter or the person in charge of the conveyance and should include information such as goods, recipient, consignor and transporter. The e-way bill was rolled out nationwide on 1st April 2018.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	The e-way bill GST provisions had primarily targeted a single national level e-way bill, which could be used by suppliers and transporters all across the country.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Till such time as this national e-way bill was ready, the States were authorised to continue their own separate e-way bill systems. However, the GST Council received several representations from the trade and transporter communities, stating that this was causing an unnecessary bottleneck to the inter-State movement of goods, prompting the need for an earlier implementation of the e-way bill.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	As a result, the GST Council, reviewed the readiness of the hardware and software required for the nationwide rollout of e-way bill, and announced the renewed date, post discussions with all the states.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Purpose of e-way bill</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	E-way bill is a mechanism to ensure that goods being transported comply with the GST Law and is a tool to track movement of goods and check tax evasion.</div>
