FAQ :
The CAG highlighted issues such as the generation of multiple e-way bills for a single invoice, misuse by non-filers, and the creation of e-way bills using cancelled GSTINs.
Taxpayers could manipulate invoice details using variations in case (upper/lower) to generate more than one e-way bill for the same document.
The government has implemented strict document-number validation to block duplicate bills, restricted bills on invoices older than 180 days, blocked generation for non-filers who haven't filed previous returns, and introduced checks against cancelled GSTINs.
E-way bill generation is automatically blocked for taxpayers who have not filed their previous three returns to ensure stronger compliance.
The aim is to strengthen the integrity of the GST logistics ecosystem and reduce the scope for tax evasion.
