Blocking of EWB generation facility: Blocking/unblocking of EWB generation facility has been implemented on EWB Portal from 2nd December, 2019. A.

Unblocking of EWB generation facility: The EWB generation facility would be automatically unblocked in the event of filing of their GSTR 3B return for the default period(s), reducing the default period to less than 2 consecutive tax periods.
