FAQ :

An e-way bill is an electronic permit required for the interstate transport of goods in India.

In September, 109 million e-way bills were generated, marking an 18% increase compared to the same period last year.

The increase is attributed to businesses ramping up operations ahead of the festive season, leading to greater movement of raw materials and finished goods.

The sharp increase in e-way bill generation is expected to lead to higher GST revenue collection in October.

No, while e-way bill data is strong, other indicators like manufacturing output growth and retail auto sales show mixed signals, with some sectors experiencing a slowdown.

The outlook for October's GST revenues remains optimistic due to high supply chain activity and increased GST compliance efforts.
