Transporters and manufacturers have the facility to use the E-Way Bill on a trial basis till the end of the month before it is rolled out on a compulsory basis across the country from February 1. “The e-way bill system has already been rolled out in Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Kerala, which are together generating nearly 1.4 lakh e-way bills every day. The remaining states will join over the next fortnight,” the Goods and Services Tax Network said on Friday.
The E-Way Bill is one of the pending provisions of the Goods and Services Tax, that has to be issued for inter-state movement of goods costing above Rs 50,000 and being transported beyond a distance of 10 km. The GST Council in a meeting last month had decided to roll it out from February to check tax evasion.
Hoping to assuage concerns over the complexity of the E-Way Bill, Prakash Kumar, CEO, GSTN said there is no need to visit any tax office to generate it. “The new system enables generation of E-Way Bill on the portal, through the mobile App, SMS and for large users using the offline tool,” he said.
