GST COUNCIL MEETING - E-WAY BILL ON THE WAY


The 24th GST Council Meeting held today through video conferencing decides that Inter-State e-way Bill be made compulsory from 1st of February, 2018;
The System to be ready by 16th of January, 2018; The Uniform System of e-way Bill for Inter-State as well as the Intra-State movement will be implemented across the country by 1st June, 2018.

 The 24th Meeting of the GST Council held today through video conference under the Chairmanship of the Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Shri Arun Jaitley. It discussed the implementation of e-way Bill system in the country. Until such time as the National e-way Bill is ready, the States were authorized to continue their own separate e-way Bill systems. However, it was represented by the trade and transporters that this is causing undue hardship in the Inter-State movement of goods and therefore, bringing in an early all India system of e-way Bill has become a necessity. The GST Council today reviewed the progress of readiness of hardware and software required for the introduction of nationwide e-way Bill System. After discussions with all the States, the following decisions were taken:

i)  The nationwide e-way Bill system will be ready to be rolled out on a trial basis latest by  16th January 2018. Trade and transporters can start using this system on a voluntary basis from 16th January 2018.

ii)  The Rules for implementation of nationwide e-way Bill system for Inter-State movement of goods on a compulsory basis will be notified with effect from 1st February 2018. This will bring uniformity across the States for seamless inter-State movement of goods.

iii) While the System for both inter-State and intra-State e-way Bill generation will be ready by 16th January 2018, the States may choose their own timings for implementation of e-  way Bill for intra-State movement of goods on any date before 1st June 2018. There are certain States which are already having a system of e-way Bill for intra-State as well as inter-State movement and some of those States can be early adopters of national e-way  Bill system for intra-State movement also. But in any case, the Uniform System of e-way  Bill for inter-State as well as the intra-State movement will be implemented across the country by 1st June 2018.
