FAQ :

The GSTN has issued an advisory providing specific instructions for entering Receipt Numbers for leased wagons into the E-Way Bill (EWB) system.

Taxpayers must prefix receipt numbers with the identifier 'L' when entering them into the EWB system for leased wagons.

These changes will come into effect from January 1st, 2025.

When generating an EWB for rail transport, taxpayers should select 'Rail' as the transport mode in Part-B and enter the receipt number with the 'L' prefix.

If there are mismatched or missing numbers, the system will alert taxpayers, who must then correct the entry promptly.

Taxpayers can raise a ticket with the EWB support team through the support portal for assistance.
