Enhancements in e-Way Bill System



Quick Summary
The e-Way Bill system has undergone several enhancements to improve its functionality and user experience. Key updates include ensuring the recipient's GSTIN is active at the time of document preparation and that document numbers are now case-sensitive. For bulk uploads, the system can now automatically populate distances if not provided, though users must input them if unavailable. Additionally, pin code validation has been improved, and 'Other Country' can be designated with state code 96.

1. Recipient GSTIN should be registered and active, on the date of preparation of the document by the supplier.

2. Document Nos. are case sensitive for e-Waybill generation.

3. In the Bulk Upload, if the Pin-to-Pin distance is not known, distance may be passed as zero. The system will automatically populate the distance, if available. However, if the distance is not available then error is returned. For such cases, user has to pass the distance.

4. If Pin code does not exist in the EWB system then at-least the first 3 digits of the pin code must match with the State selected.

5. In Bulk upload, 96 can also be passed as state code for ‘Other Country’.

6. In case EWB is generated from e-Invoice System, then IRN is displayed in the e-Waybill print
