74. Rules:E Way bill shailendra.saxena@jlnus.com
Goods worth over ₹50,000 will require obtaining a prior registration and generation of an e-way bill under the GST regime. E-way bill will also be allowed to be generated or cancelled through SMS.
When an e-way bill is generated a unique e-way bill number (EBN) is allocated and is available to supplier, recipient, and the transporter. which will subsequently accepted/rejected by recipient of goods within 3 days.
E-way bill will be generated when there is movement of goods –
In relation to a ‘supply’
Other than a ‘supply’ ( say a return of goods)
Inward ‘supply’ from an unregistered person
A supply may be –
Supplied for a consideration in the normal course of business.
Supplies made for a consideration, which may not be in the course of business.
Supplies without consideration.
Registered person or the transporter may choose to generate and carry e-way bill even if value of goods is less than Rs 50,000. RFID readers shall be installed in places for verification of movement of goods
Unregistered persons or his transporter may also choose to generate e-way bill. Which means e-way bill can be generated by both registered and unregistered persons. However, where a supply is made by an unregistered person to a registered person, the receiver will have to do all the compliances as if he’s the supplier.
ISSUE:
When invoice is already issued, issuance of e-way bill increases the compliance at the time of removal of goods. This is not in line with ease of doing business.

79. E-way Bill in Line of ease of doing Business i. e
E-way Bill in Line of ease of doing Business i.e. easy compliance for transporter
While addressing a session at the India Integrated Transport and Logistics Summit 2017 on 5th May, Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia elaborated following features of Draft Rule of e-waybill.
1. Electronic (e-way) Bill under the Goods and Services Tax will simplify their operations and not cause any compliance burden.
2. tax authorities will provide time to transporters to adjust to the new system, and not begin imposing penalties from “Day 1”.
3. The system of e-way Bill is a major reform and will remove many complications.
4. Flexible approach: Initially, we will only observe the behaviour (of transporters). We will be flexible and won’t put penalties.
5. Doing away with hard copies of verification documents, e-way bills can also be generated through a smart phone and sent to the driver of the cargo vehicle as an SMS. Under GST, freight worth over ₹50,000 will require obtaining a prior registration and generation of an e-way bill and will be used to track all inter-State and intra-State movement of goods.
