E-way bill application

E-way bill application deferred, trial to continue as Government faces tech glitch


With the E-way bill generation platform facing technical glitches, the Government on Thursday said it is extending the trial period for e-way bill. However, the government has not clarified how long the trial will run.

"In view of difficulties faced by the trade in generating e-way bill due to initial tech glitches, it has been decided to extend the trial phase for generation of e-way bill, both for inter and intra-State movement of goods.
E-way bill became mandatory from today (February 1, 2018) but throughout the day there have reports of the platform crashing. Some companies have complained that moving goods had come to a complete standstill.

The trial period of E-way bill had started on January 15.

"The GST server was unresponsive since morning and gave unnerving moments to the logistics teams of the taxpayers who were apprehensive on movement of goods without E-way bill. Availability of system.
However, the notification regarding the extension of trial has not yet been generated and taxpayers are still cagey about transporting goods. Since each state has to come out with its own notification first, this may take some time.
