E-way generation to be blocked from August 15 for return non-filers: GSTN

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) issued an advisory, stating that the government has decided to block the e-way bill generation facility on the EWB portal from 15th August 2021.

After 15th August 2021, If the taxpayer has not filed the returns the system will check the status of returns filed in Form GSTR-3B or Form GST CMP-08 & block the generation of e-way bills

The facility of blocking E way bill generation had been temporarily suspended due to pandemic, in terms of Rule 138 E (a) and (b) of the CGST Rules, 2017, the E Way Bill generation facility of a person is liable to be restricted, in case the person fails to file their return in Form GSTR-3B / statement in CMP-08, for a consecutive period of two months / Quarters or more.

The government has now decided to resume the blocking of EWB generation facility on the EWB portal, for all the taxpayers in terms of Rule 138 E (a) and (b) of the CGST Rules, 2017, from 15th August onwards.

Thus, after 15th August 2021, the System will check the status of returns filed in Form GSTR-3B or the statements filed in Form GST CMP-08, and restrict the generation of EWB in case of:

  • Non-filing of two or more returns in Form GSTR-3B for the months up to June 2021 and
  • Non-filing of 02 or more statements in Form GST CMP-08 for the quarters up to April to June 2021

To avail continuous EWB generation facility on EWB Portal, you are therefore advised to file your pending GSTR 3B returns/ CMP-08 Statement immediately.
