NIC Introducing Two Factor Authentication for e-Way Bill and e-Invoice System
To enhance the security of e-Way Bill/e-Invoice System, NIC is introducing 2-Factor Authentication for logging in to e-Way Bill/e-Invoice system. In addition to username and password, OTP will also be authenticated for login.
The OTP can be obtained in three distinct ways. You may login to the system using any of the OTPs. The following are the many modes of generating OTP:
1. SMS: OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number as SMS.
2. On ‘Sandes’ app: Sandes is a messaging app provided by government so that you can send and receive messages. You may download and install the Sandes app on your registered mobile number and receive the OTP in it.
3. Using ‘NIC-GST-Shield’ app: ‘NIC-GST-Shield’ is a mobile app provided by e-Way Bill /e-Invoice System, so that OTP can be generated by using the app. This app can be downloaded only from the e-Waybill / e-Invoice portal from the link ‘Main Menu2-Factor Authentication Install NIC-GST-Shield’. Download, install and register this app on your registered mobile number. You should ensure the time displayed in the app should be in sync with e-Waybill / e-Invoice system. On opening the app, OTP is displayed. You may enter this OTP and continue the authentication. The OTP gets refreshed after every 30 seconds. You will not require internet or any dependency on mobile network for generating the OTP on this app.
Go to Main Menu2 Factor Authentication and confirm the registration after logging into the e-Waybill System. After confirmation, the system will prompt you for an OTP as well as your login and password. Individual user accounts are used for OTP authentication. GSTIN sub users will be authenticated separately based on their registered mobile number in the e-Way Bill/ e-Invoice System. Once you’ve signed up for two-factor authentication, you’ll be able to use it for both the e-Way bill and the e-Invoice system.
Using the link ‘2 Factor Authentication Registration / Deregistration,’ you can de-register this facility at any time. This feature is now available on an opt-in basis, but it will be made necessary in the future.
