Port Blair, Jan 22: Issuance of E-Way Bill has been made mandatory nationwide since inception of GST, however, it was made compulsory from May 2018 in Andaman & Nicobar Islands considering internet connectivity and other logistical issues.
The CANI enabled fast internet connectivity realising E-way Bills is no longer a problem. However, it has come to notice of the department that despite improved internet connectivity, various traders still are not raising E way Bills for supplies commencing from the island and Part B of E-way Bill is not being updated for incoming supplies.
A workshop regarding sensitization of process of raising E-way bills and updation of Part B will be organised by the UTGST department at 11:00 am on 29th January 2021 at Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Hall. Interested people are invited to attend the same and for further queries please contact on 03192-234684 or email us at utgstjc.and.gov.in.
The UTGST department, therefore, appeals all the traders, transporters and other stake holders to compulsory issue E-way Bills or a penal action on defaulters shall be taken from in a due course of time.
