As per the news update released by the Ministry of Finance dated 26th March , 2019 these forthcoming changes in Electronic Way Bill System can be expected:
- Firstly, the E- Way Bill system is being enabled to auto calculate route distance for movement of goods, based on the Postal PIN codes of source and destination locations.
- Secondly, Blocking of generation of multiple E-Way Bills on one Invoice/document which means generation of multiple e-way bills based on one invoice, by any party – consignor, consignee or transporter is not allowed.
- Thirdly, Extension of E-Way Bill in case Consignment is in Transit which means during the extension of validity of the e-way bill, the user will be asked to answer whether the Consignment is in Transit or in Movement. On selection of In Transit, the address details of the transit place need to be provided by user. On selection of In Movement the system will prompt user to enter Place and Vehicle details. For calculation of distance for movement and validity date of an E-way Bill, in both these scenarios, the destination PIN will be considered from the PART-A of the E-way Bill.
- Lastly, Blocking of Interstate Transactions for Composition dealers which means the composition tax payers are not allowed to do Interstate supply. Hence user will not be allowed to generate e-way bill for inter-state movement of goods, if the supplier is a composition tax payer.
