Intra-state e-way bills in 6 more states from April 20

E-way bill system for inter-state movement of goods has been rolled out pan-India from April 1, 2018, as per the decision of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council.

For intra-state movement, the system was implemented initially in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh from April 15. “E-way bills are getting generated successfully and till April 17, more than 1,33,00,000 e-way bills have been successfully generated, which includes more than six lakh e-way bills which have been generated for intra-state movement of goods from April 15 to 17, 2018,” ministry of finance said in a statement.

With the roll-out of e-way bill system in six more states, it is expected that trade and industry will be further facilitated insofar as the transport of goods is concerned, thereby eventually paving the way for a nation-wide single e-way bill system, the statement said.

The ministry has advised trade and industry and transporters located in the six states to obtain registration/enrolment on e-way bill portal https://www.ewaybillgst.gov.in at the earliest without waiting for the last date. (RKS)
