E-Way Bill generation provisioned for movement of Gold



Quick Summary
The Indian government has introduced a new provision requiring the generation of E-Way Bills for the movement of gold, covering both intrastate and interstate transactions. This applies specifically to items under HSN Chapter 71. While the E-Way Bill for gold shares many parameters with the standard version, it does not require Part-B details regarding the vehicle. The validity is calculated based on origin and destination distances, and only items from HSN Chapter 71 can be included. If other HSN chapters are involved, a normal E-Way Bill with Part-B details must be used.

As per the Government recommendation, E-Way Bill generation has been provisioned for movement of Gold (HSN Chapter 71) for all Intrastate and Interstate transactions. The taxpayers of the state may generate the E-Waybill for Gold as per the notification issued by their respective states. The e-Waybill for Gold is available as a separate option in the main menu. The e-Waybill for Gold has all the same parameters as that of normal e-waybill except that such e-waybills will not be updated with Part-B details. The validity of such e-Waybill is calculated based on the pin to pin distance of origin and destination.

For generating E-Waybill for Gold it is mandatory that all the items must belong to the HSN Chapter 71 only. In case of items belonging to other HSN chapter along with HSN chapter 71 exist, then it may be treated as a normal e-Waybill and may be generated along with Part-B details.
