GSTN Releases FAQs on Mandatory Ship-to Field and Voluntary e-Way Bill Closure:

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has released two sets of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to address the doubts raised by taxpayers, businesses, GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs) and other stakeholders on the recent changes introduced in the e-Way Bill system.

The first FAQ talks about the new requirement of making it mandatory to fill the “Ship-to” field while generating an e-Way Bill. This includes the relevant system validations, compliance requirements and the correct process to enter shipment details.

The second FAQ provides guidance on the voluntary closure of e-Way Bills, explaining when and how users can close an e-Way Bill before its validity expires, along with the relevant system rules and procedural steps.

GSTN said the FAQs have been prepared after reviewing queries and representations received from stakeholders. Taxpayers and transporters are advised to read these documents to understand the latest requirements and ensure smooth compliance with the updated e-Way Bill system.

The detailed FAQs are available on the GSTN tutorial portal under the following documents:
