E-way bill trial run starts today: E-way bill trial run from 16th Jan 2018
The national wide E-way bill will be ready to be rolled out on a trial basis by 16th January 2018. The Purpose of E-Way Bill is a mechanism to ensure that goods being transported comply with the GST Law and is an effective tool
to track movement of goods and check tax evasion.

• Trade & transporter can start using this system on voluntary basis from 16th January 2018.
• It will be come compulsory from 1st February 2018 for inter-state movement of goods. Also see E way bill will be compulsory from 1st February,2018
• The validity of e-way bill depends on the distance to be travelled by the goods. For a distance of less than 100 Km the e-way bill will be valid for a day from the relevant date. For every 100 Km thereafter, the validity will be additional one day from the relevant date.
• E-way bill PortalE way Bill : The URL for the e-way bill system for the whole nation ishttp://ewaybill.nic.in.
  The same URL will be used for both the trial run(16-01-2018 to 31-01-2018) and final roll out(01-02-2018onwards). However, the tax payers need to be told that the e-way bills generated upto31.01.2018 (during trial run) would not be used by the department for any purpose. Hence, the tax payers can register, practice and use the system without any problem. As same system (URL) continues from1st Feb 2018, the tax payers need not have to register again. The same registration will be used further. Hence, all officers are requested to advise the dealers/transporters to register/enrol themselves during the trial period itself. This avoids last-minute confusion to the tax payers.
  You can open and check the URL and see the details. This URL is used by 6 states now for e-way bill generations.
  

• For Intrastate movement of goods, state may choose their own timings for E-way Bill implementation on anydate before 1st June 2018.

• Hassle free movement of goods, no need of separate road permit & Self declaration of goods are some of the objectives of E-Way Bill. (Also see E-way bill Under GST | Road Permit Requirement in GST )
