The government had temporarily suspended blocking of E-way Bill generation for taxpayers citing the pandemic. This suspension brought in a lot of relief to the taxpayers as they could skip the hassles of unblocking the E-way Bills that were blocked due to non-compliance.
However, the latest GST advisory released on 4th August 2021 states that the blocking of the E-way Bill (EWB) generation facility will resume after 15th August 2021 as per Rule 138 E (a) and (b) of the CGST Rules, 2017.
Thus, after 15th August onwards, the system will check the status of returns filed in Form GSTR-3B or the statements filed in Form GST CMP-08, and block the generation of EWB in cases of:
- Non-filing of two or more returns in Form GSTR-3B (Monthly/Quarterly frequency as applicable) for the tax periods up to June 2021 and
- Non-filing of two or more statements in Form GST CMP-08 for the quarters up to April to June 2021.
To avail of the E-way Bill generation facility on the E-way Bill Portal, taxpayers need to file pending Form GSTR 3B returns either monthly or quarterly as per the applicability and Form GST CMP-08 Statements regularly.
