NIC Issues Changes In Functionalities With Respect To E-Waybill For Gold

As per the government recommendation, E-Way Bill generation has been provisioned for the movement of gold (HSN Chapter 71) for all intrastate and interstate transactions. The taxpayers of the state may generate the E-Waybill for Gold as per the notification issued by their respective states.

The e-Waybill for Gold is available as a separate option in the main menu. The e-Waybill for Gold has all the same parameters as that of a normal e-waybill except that such e-waybills will not be updated with Part-B details. The validity of such an e-Waybill is calculated based on the pin-to-pin distance between origin and destination.

For generating E-Waybill for Gold, it is mandatory that all the items must belong to HSN Chapter 71 only. If items belonging to other HSN chapters along with HSN chapter 71 exist, then it may be treated as a normal e-Waybill and may be generated along with Part-B details.

There are various functional changes with respect to e-Waybill for Gold. Firstly, no Part-B details can be updated. Secondly, transporter updates are not allowed. Thirdly, a consolidated EWB cannot be generated. Lastly, the extension of e-waybill is allowed without updating Part-B details. Lastly, multi-vehicle facilities are not allowed.

However, there is no change in the cancellation and rejection of e-way bills.
