That is, if the GST taxpayer has not filed Return 3B for GST the last two successive months in GST Common portal, then that GSTIN will be blocked for the generation of the e-way bill either as consignor or consignee.

The CBIC had said that, the taxpayer will be alerted with a cautionary message while generating the E-Way Bills, in case GST for the past 2 successive months of the consignor/consignee GSTIN has not been filed. However, from next month onwards, such GSTINs will be blocked.
