Advisory: E-Way Bill Extension for 31st Dec 2024 Expiry
Introduction:
The GST Network (GSTN) has resolved the technical challenges encountered in the e-way bill generation process. The portal is now functioning smoothly. To address the issues faced earlier, GSTN has implemented facilitation measures for taxpayers and transporters. Here’s what you need to know about the extension of expired e-way bills and the generation of new e-way bills for goods moved during the glitch.
Key Points:
1. Extension of Expired E-Way Bills:
- Existing Procedure: Typically, e-way bills that expired at midnight on 31st December 2024 could be extended either within 8 hours prior to the expiry or 8 hours after the expiry.
- Extended Window: Due to a technical glitch, this process was disrupted. To mitigate the impact, the window period for extending the e-way bills expiring on 31st December 2024 has been extended up to 1st January 2025, midnight. Taxpayers and transporters are advised to utilize the “Extend EWB” facility on the portal to extend these e-way bills if required.
2. Generation of E-Way Bills for Goods Moved During the Glitch:
- Advisory: Taxpayers and transporters who moved goods on 31st December 2024 without generating e-way bills due to technical issues are advised to generate the necessary e-way bills on 1st January 2025 using the existing facility on the portal.
