As per the circular issued by the State Government, the e-way bill is mandatory for inter-State supplies. However, the due date for implementing an e-way bill for intra-State supplies would be intimated later, the circular said.
Now, the e-way bill mechanism is available for traders on a trial basis.
It is said that the URL for the bill system i.e, http://ewaybill.nic.in will be used for both trial run and final rollout. Thus, the dealers/ traders not required to re-register or enroll again after 31st January 2018.
It further clarified that bills generated up to 31st January will not be used by the department for any purpose. The traders can, therefore, use the e-way mechanism without any fear, it said.
âSufficient practice of bill generation will make the stakeholders accustomed to this new system so well that, it will be a very smooth process to generate bill, once it becomes mandatory from 1.02.2018.â
