Is. Many times it has been found that the e-way bill and e-invoice of these businesses do not match. In such a situation, to bring transparency in tax payment, the government has now made e-challan mandatory for e-way bill by changing the rules.
Rules changing from March 1
National Informatics Center (NIC) has issued orders to GST taxpayers saying that now they will not be able to generate e-way bill without e-challan. This rule will come into effect from March 1, 2024. This rule will be applicable only for taxpayers eligible for e-challan. At the same time, NIC has made it clear that there will be no need for e-challan to generate e-way bills for customers and other types of transactions. In such a situation, these e-way bills will continue to be generated like before. This means that the changed rules will not have any impact on these customers.
