D-D-Deferred, Extended, these words are now common in GST regime; since GST implemented E-way bill has been deferred more than five times. Now government has changed the rules of E-way bill and declared date to implement E-way from 1st April-2018. The Council has decided very right date to implement, because previous month date extended due to technical glitch, now with hoping that technical glitch has been resolved. I hope that this time people will not make April FOOL.
Beside of this council is ensuring that technically e-way bill portal is ready to issue lakhs of e-way bill on daily basis. In reality we will see after 1st April-18 whether it will work or once again date will extend or business will enjoy April Fool.
Now government wants to implement e-way bill as soon as possible because law revenue tax collection since previous few months and for evasion of tax is a big concern in government mind. The government is already under pressure because LokSabha election is next year and government wants resolve all GST glitches earliest possible.
Finance Minister is expecting that after implementing E-way bill revenue collections from the GST could pick up over the coming month as provisions such as E-way bills for transport of goods kick up.
An E-way bill previously in VAT regime well known as road permit, E-sancharan, way bill, E-sugam, ST Form-10, Form-61 &62, Form-DIX, Form-402 & 403, Form-38, Form-26, JVAT-504G, Form-16, Form-49, Form-35, Form-40, Form-33, Form-32, Form-25 & Form-50 etc. different states, different names.
