Day 1 sees no major glitch for e-way bill, says GSTN chief executive

An official said it would take a week or two for flying squads to get into regular operation, since the mechanism is not fully final

One has to wait a bit longer to assess the robustness of the e-way bill portal. Just over 171,000 of these had been generated till 5 pm on Sunday, the first day of its mandatory nation-wide introduction for inter-state movement of goods worth over Rs 50,000 under the goods and services tax (GST) system. 
 

The numbers were less than half of those generated on February 1, the earlier date of its roll-out, when the portal had crashed.

At the time, 480,000 bills were generated. At present, the portal — ewaybill.nic.in — has a capacity to handle 7.5 million bills
