The Government of Kerala has introduced the option to generate E-Way Bills (EWB) for gold under Chapter 71, effective January 20, 2025. This feature is exclusively for the intrastate movement of gold and other goods classified under Chapter 71, excluding imitation jewelry (HSN 7117). Taxpayers can still use the usual EWB system for generating bills for imitation jewelry. This initiative aims to streamline compliance with Kerala’s notification on gold transport.
