The Kerala Goods & Services Tax (GST) Department has stated that the e-way bill system in vogue in the State from January 12 on trial basis will become formalised tomorrow (February 1).
But it clarified that the system will continue to run on trial basis till the State government issues an official notification endorsing e-way bills for intra-State movement of goods.
An official said that traders may log in to the relevant web page by clicking on the link provided under the tax payers’ services at www.keralataxes.gov.in.
An e-way bill is mandatory for consignments valued at ₹50,000 or more. It may be generated on personal computers, through a mobile application or even an SMS, the spokesman said.
Unlike in the earlier system, the e-way bill will enable movement of a consignment based on the declaration made by the supplier without being subjected to verification.
Here, the supplier is responsible for providing all relevant details with respect to the consignment. In case he/she does not generate the e-way bill, the receiver of the consignment or the transporter may comply with the requirement.
If factual errors are detected after the e-way bill is generated or the consignment gets cancelled altogether, the bill can be revoked by the party who generated it within the prescribed time limit.This apart, the system allows for the rejection of the bill by a customer if it contains errors with respect to his/her coordinates.
