As per previous decision of GST council, the e-way Bill System for Inter-State movement of goods across the country is being introduced from April, 2018.
With this, the businesses and transporters moving goods worth over Rs. 50,000 from one state to another will have to carry an electronic or e-way bill.
The e-way bill provision of the goods and services tax (GST) was first introduced on February 1, 2018.
The system has been designed and developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
Due to some technical issues, the GST Council decided to roll-out of the e-way bill starting with inter-state from April 1 and intra-state from April 15, 2018.
E-way bill is an electronic document generated on the GST Portal, which is a common and shared information technology (IT) infrastructure between the Centre and States; and acts as evidence for movement of goods.
