By TIOL News Service
NEW DELHI, APRIL 02, 2018: FOR the implementation of e-Way Bill system the Govt has proven that it was much better prepared this time. As per the data released by the Revenue Secretary, Dr Hashmukh Adhia, said that till 2 pm today, about 2.05 lakh e-Way bills were generated. Though in all cases the second day was a dull day as compared to the first day but for Karnataka and Gujarat it was a busy day. For Karnataka the number jumped from above 29000 to 47000 on second day and for Gujarat it moved from above 37K to 41K on the second day.
A total of 11,18,292 taxpayers have registered on e-Way Bill Portal till date. Further 20,057 transporters have enrolled themselves on the e-Way Bill Portal.
To assist and answer queries of taxpayers and transporters, the Central helpdesk of GST has made special arrangements with 100 agents exclusively dedicated to answer queries related to e-way bills. Separately, state tax authorities have started helpdesk in local language, details of which are available on the GST portal. Central as well as State Tax Authorities have declared Nodal Officers for e-way bills. Detailed FAQs are kept on the portal for the guidance of the users.
E-way Bill can be generated through various modes like Web (Online), Android App, SMS, using Bulk Upload Tool and API based site to site integration etc. Consolidated e-way Bill can be generated by transporters for vehicle carrying multiple consignments.
Transporters can create multiple Sub-Users and allocate roles to them. This way large transporters can declare their various offices as sub-users.
There is a provision for cancellation of e-way Bill within 24 hours by the person who has generated the e-way Bill. The recipient can also reject the e-way Bill within validity period of e-way bill or 72 hours of generation of the e-way bill by the consignor whichever is earlier.
