More than 480 Crores are e-way bills have been generated. Subsequently, as per the request, E-Invoice1 system has been built and rolled out three and half years back. During last 3 and half years, tax payers have generated more than 600 Crores e-invoices from this portal. These systems are running with 24/7 services for last 6 years without any down time. e-Waybill and e-Invoice1 Systems have Business Continuity Plan (BCP) setup at Hyderabad. As per the request of GSTN, we have started the second e-invoice portal, as parallel portal, at Hyderabad from March 2023. GSTN has also established 4 more e-invoice portals for the ease and quick availability of the e-invoice generation for tax payers.
NIC is happy to inform that e-way bill2 portal will be released on 1st June 2024 with URL https://ewaybill2.gst.gov.in from Hyderabad, to provide the high availability of e-way bill services This system runs in parallel with e-Way bill System at Delhi, but with the critical functionalities. The tax payers and logistics operators can use the existing username and password created and used in the e-way bill portal. Data of the E-way bill2 portal will be validated, merged and made available at primary e-way bill portal for the all the business and analytical purposes. This portal is also integrated with additional e-invoice portal for e-way bill generation so as not to affect the e-invoice generation with e-way bill.

Eventually, e-way bill1 and e-Waybill2 system will get seamlessly merged and integrated and this will eliminate the dependency on e-Waybill1 system, during any exigencies.
