GSTN Claims Over 2 lakh EWB Issued in First Two Days of Roll Out
[MoF Press Release dated 2 April 2018]
Subject: Smooth roll out of e-Way Bill system from 1st April, 2018
As per decision of the GST Council, e-Way Bill system became mandatory from 1st
April, 2018 for all inter-State movement of goods. 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) and is being
run on portal namely
https://ewaybillgst.gov.in.
On day-1, total of 2.59
lakh e-Way Bills were generated on the e-way
bill
portal. Till 2:00
pm today, 2,04,563 e-way bills have been
generated. A total of 11,18,292 taxpayers
have registered on e-Way
Bill Portal till date. Further 20,057 transporters, who are not registered
under
GST,
have
enrolled themselves on the
e-Way Bill
Portal.
To assist and answer
queries of
taxpayers
and
transporters, the Central helpdesk of
GST has made special arrangements with 100 agents exclusively dedicated to answer queries
related to e-way bills.
Separately, state
tax authorities have started helpdesk
in local language,
details of which are available on the GST portal. Central as well as State Tax Authorities have declared Nodal Officers for e-way
bills. Detailed FAQs are kept on the portal for the
guidance of the
users.
E-way
Bill can be generated through various modes like Web (Online), Android App, SMS, using Bulk Upload Tool and API based site to site integration etc. Consolidated e-way
Bill
can be generated by transporters for
vehicle carrying multiple
consignments.
Transporters can create multiple Sub-Users and allocate roles to them. This way
large transporters can
declare their various
offices
as sub-users.
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.
