Objective

The new E-Way Bill 2.0 portal was created because taxpayers wanted services to keep working even during emergencies. It allows users to access important E-Way Bill features from different portals, making it easier for taxpayers and transporters to continue their work without problems.

2. New Interoperable Services

The below-mentioned additional services will be made available on the E-Way Bill 2.0 portal for E-Way Bills generated on any of these portals (E-Way Bill 1.0 or E-Way Bill 2.0):

• Generation of E-Way Bill based on Part-A details entered by the supplier
• Generation of Consolidated E-Way Bills
• Extension of validity of E-Way Bills
• Update of transporter details
• Retrieval of consolidated E-Way Bills

These newly launched services are in addition to the existing cross-functional services:

• Generation of E-Way Bills
• Updating of vehicle details
• Printing of E-Way Bills

System Unification and Alignment

• Both portals will operate on real-time coordination, with E-Way Bill data automatically copied to both systems within seconds.
• If there’s a technical problem or downtime on the E-Way Bill 1.0 portal, taxpayers can use the E-Way Bill 2.0 portal to perform any key operation (such as updating Part B) and use the E-Way Bill slip generated from it.
• This two-portal system is made to reduce reliance on just one portal and to make sure the business keeps running smoothly.

Availability Through API

All these designated services will also be made accessible to taxpayers and logistics operators through APIs, not just on the web portal. These APIs are currently set up in a test environment (called a sandbox) so users can try them out and connect them to their systems.

Key Advantages

In the future, data from both the E-Way Bill 1 and E-Way Bill 2 portals will be fully combined. This means users won’t have to rely only on the E-Way Bill 1 portal during technical issues. The E-Way Bill 2 portal is built to sync data with the main portal within seconds. You can now use both portals interchangeably; for instance, you can update E-Way Bills made on one portal using the other. If the main E-Way Bill 1 portal is down, you can still update Part B details using the E-Way Bill 2 portal. Both versions of the E-Way Bill slip are valid and can be used. Taxpayers and transporters are advised to make themselves aware of the newly launched features and connect API services if needed. If you need help or have questions, you can contact the GST Helpdesk or check the user manuals available on the portals.
