Login – E-Way Bill

With Just five days left E-Way bill GST will be rolled out from January 16th as per the decision made by Finance minister Arun Jaitley who heads the GST Council. The E-Way Bill promises uniformity of interstate movement of goods which could be voluntarily used from January 16th but will be made a compulsory countrywide from February 1 for the supply of goods costing more than 50,000. However, the traders and transporters are asking to increase the costing limits of goods & commodities to around one lakh rupees.

The GST council had postponed the bill implementation during the rollout of GST on July 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018, due to lack of technological preparation.
