An E-way bill is a paper that supports the shipment of merchandise from one place to another (typically the seller’s location to the buyer’s location). The aim of implementing this principle is to keep track of the flow of goods and to prevent tax evasion.
The bill is a GST portal-generated electronic document that documents the transportation of products. It includes information such as the origin, destination, consignor and consignee information, vehicle number, and so on.
The aim of the E-Way Bill (EWB) is to provide a single permit for the transportation of goods across the world. The official government repository or platform for generating, managing, and cancelling EWBs is ewaybillgst.gov.in. This is a single web platform that all taxpayers and transporters in India can use to produce EWBs.
Previously, the portal was accessible via ewaybill.nic.in. The GST Council has directed that the same be redirected to a new website called ewaybillgst.gov.in. NIC maintains this portal, which was formerly known as ewaybill.nic.in.
Let’s take a look at the ewaybill.nic.in the homepage to see what tabs it has:
The taxpayer will find rules, forms, notifications, and circulars under this tab on the home page. The taxpayer can conveniently refer to various laws that are state-specific by clicking on rules.
Similarly, the taxpayer or transporter will see sample e-way bill form formats by clicking the Form tab. EWB-01, EWB-02, EWB-03, EWB-04, ENR-01, and INV-01 are the variants used under these tabs. The taxpayer or transporter will find the most recent government notifications and circulars about the e-way bill in the Notification and circular alternative.
The taxpayer will find various options such as User Manual, CBT, FAQs, Advertisement, and Tools under the Help menu on the e-way bill portal login tab.
The taxpayer or transporter will resolve all of their e-way bill issues by consulting the FAQs, CBT (Videos), or user manual parts. Furthermore, the Tools alternative allows the taxpayer to use models linked to the eway bill portal’s bulk generation facility.
This menu on the eway bill login page allows users to look for the following items:
The taxpayer will find the helpdesk’s regional contact information on this menu of the e-way bill login list.
