E-Way Bill not required for intra-State supplies in Chattisgarh till 1^st march 2018, said the State Government last week.

In a Notification issued on Thursday, the State Government of Chattisgarh said that “E-Way Bill shall not be required for transportation of any class of goods of any value in case of movement of goods which commence and terminates within the State of Chattisgarh subject to the condition that invoice or delivery challan as the case may be prescribed under Cahttisgarh Goods and Service tax Act, 2017, accompanies such goods in transit.”

The notification is effective from 1^st February 2018 to 1^st march 2018, it said.

In a bid to bring more accountability and transparency in the transactions and thereby to curb tax evasion, the most-awaited E-way Bill provision sunder the Goods and Services Tax regime is to be rolled out from tomorrow.

Under the E-way Bill provisions, both the inter-State and intra-State movement of goods above Rs 50,000 is required to be pre-registered online.

Over 150 items of common use, including LPG cylinders, vegetables, food grain and jewellery, will be exempt from such transport permits, which can be checked by designated tax officials by intercepting a transporting vehicle. Goods moved on non-motorised conveyance, such as carts, are also outside the net.

Many States like Karnataka, Uttarakhand, Gujarat and Kerala had already started using e-way bills. The Trial run has been started by many States from 16^th January 2018.
