The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has notified that the provisions relating to E-Way Bill are applicable from 1st April 2018.
In the 26th meeting, the GST Council has recommended the introduction of the E-Way Bill for inter-State movement of goods across the country from 01st April 2018. For intra-State movement of goods, e-way bill system will be introduced w.e.f. a date to be announced in a phased manner but not later than 01st June 2018.
The Electronic Way Bill which was postponed by the Government due to technical glitches in the common portal is likely to roll out by the end of this month. Reports said that the Government is working to fix the glitches in the website to make a problem-free rollout of E-Way Bill. Till then, the trial run of the e-way bill system, which promises to enable faster goods movement through a seamless portal-driven payment system without lorries having to wait at state borders, will, however, continue.
