The GST E-way bill system has extended 2 Factor Authentication for all taxpayers with AATO above 100cr till July 31, 2023.
New Features in E-Waybill System :
De-registration for Transporters:
The transporters registered in e-Waybill Portal using Enrolment (based on PAN) and no longer want to continue in e-waybill system can now deenrol themselves in the e-Waybill System. Once de-enrolled, they will not be able to access the e-Waybill portal.
Cancellation of Common Enrolment:
Many taxpayers have done common enrolment but do not want to continue with common enrol Id. Such taxpayers can cancel the same. So, a facility to de-register from common enrolment is provisioned. Taxpayers can make use of this facility to de-register.
It was the feature that once, the common enrolment Id is cancelled, consequently, it cannot be used to update the transporter details. However, the Part-B details can be updated for the EWBs that are already assigned with common enrolment Id before the cancellation.
A time limit of 1 month will be provided after the cancellation of common enrolment. Subsequently, the login will be blocked and no further activity can be performed in the eWaybill system.
Two Factor authentication:
In order to secure the e-waybill login access, 2 Factor Authentication(2FA) is enabled and kept optional. However, after couple of weeks, 2FA will be made mandatory. The users operating e-waybill system from multiple locations and with single credential are advised to create sub-users immediately.
