FAQ :

The advisory informs taxpayers about the integration of the Indian Railways FOIS system with the EWB system and provides guidance on the correct entry of RR Numbers/eT-RRs into the EWB system to ensure accuracy and avoid discrepancies.

Suppliers must use the 'Multi-Transport Mode' option on the EWB portal, select 'Rail' as the mode of transport, and then enter the corresponding RR No./eT-RRs when prompted.

The RR Number/eT-RRs should be entered in the format 'F' followed by the station code and the RR number. For example, if the station is SJWT and the RR no. is 123456789, it should be entered as FSJWT123456789.

The EWB system will validate the entered RR No./eT-RRs against data from FOIS. If there is a mismatch or the number is not found, an alert will be generated, potentially causing delays.

Taxpayers can raise a ticket with the support team, clearly mentioning the RR No./eT-RRs, for assistance or to report discrepancies.
