NEW DELHI, MAY 26, 2018: THE tally of total number of States which have introduced e-Way Bill for Intra-State movement of goods has finally reached 27. The latest to join the bandwagon are Maharashtra, Manipur, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep.

The CBIC has advised field officers to facilitate the trade in getting registered on the portal at the earliest in the remaining States as well since the same would soon be rolled out in these States also. Officers may organise workshops for trade and business in order to help them in getting well versed with respect to the provisions of the e-way bill rules which would help them in avoiding any unnecessary difficulty. Similarly, the provisions of rule 138D of Central / State GST Rules, 2017 may be publicized so that trade and business may become aware about the process of grievance redressal in this new system.

The CBIC admits that IGST / ITC Refunds remain a concern and a priority. Necessary assistance must be offered to exporters to resolve any issues being faced in sanction of their claims, it has advised. Mumbai and Hyderabad Zones have so far excelled on this front.
