Non Filing of GST returns may restrict E-way Bill Generation (w.e.f 21st June 2019)
Post implementation of GST, the major challenge of Government has been to increase the number of return filings and to maintain a steady growth in GST revenue. With the return filing front of the GSTN Portal stabilizing, now the Government has shifted its focus to revenue growth by arresting tax evasion.
Government has decided to introduced the provision w.e.f. 21st June 2019 as amended by GST (Amendment) Rules, 2018 notified vide Notification No 74/2018 Central tax dated 31st December, 2018 to restrict furnishing information in Part A of Form GST EWB 01 for certain tax payers which is as under
The amended provision shall come into force from 21st June 2019.
In cases of non-filing of GST Returns for prescribed period as enumerated above, the E-Way bill may not be generated either by Consignor, Consignee, Transporter, e-commerce operator or a courier agency.

TaxMarvel Comments It is an interesting development since this may not only impact the business directly but also shall impact the businesses where the defaulting party is its vendor or supplier. The restriction shall placed at GSTIN level of the defaulting party and even when the E-Way Bill is requested by the buyer or courier agency same may not get generated.
It is interesting to see how the above system is configured for the regular- taxpayers who have opted for quarterly filing of returns (GSTR 1 Quarterly). Going forward, It shall become very important for the business to keep track of filing status of their vendors along with their own filing.
