The government has said that the implementation of nationwide e-way Bill system, to be generated under the goods and services tax (GST) for intra-state movement of goods valued at over Rs 50,000, will become mandatory within a state from June 01, 2018. Minister of State for Finance Shiv Pratap Shukla has clarified that as per the GST Council decision, the states may choose any date before June 01 for implementing the national e-way bill system for intra-state movement of goods but all states shall implement it latest by June 01.
Shukla has stated that all states had joined the government's centralised e-way bill system for inter-state road transportation of goods under the GST regime. Accordingly, he said that the government, on the recommendations of the GST Council, appointed the first day of February as the date from which the provisions of the e-way bill rules shall come into force for inter-state movement of goods.
However, the minister said that in view of the difficulties faced by the traders in generating the e-way bill due to initial technological glitches, it was decided by the GST Council to extend the trial phase for generation of e-way bills, both for inter-state and intra-state movement of goods. For inter-state movement of goods, the system is expected to become mandatory from April 1 if the recommendation of the Group of Ministers on Information Technology is approved by the GST Council during its March 10 meeting.
