E-way bill hurls movement of goods back into chaos, signals the return of the Inspector Raj on highways
The central government was keen on rolling out the e-way bill dispensation from the Budget day, 1 February, 2018, but failed apparently due to technical glitches so much so that it had to be aborted no sooner than it was started. In the two months since then, it says it has put through a sufficient number of trial or dry runs on the e-way bill portal and is satisfied that actual transactions will go through smoothly. The e-way bill under the Goods and Services Tax is designed for the same purpose except that it has to be generated by logging into the official e-way bill portal. The e-way bill rules have been modified this time round, following representations from industry, after the aborted and short-lived tryst with the e-way bill two months ago. For instance, the value of goods exempt from the GST will not be considered in calculating the minimum consignment value of Rs 50,000 necessitating generation of an e-way bill.
