E-way bill: GST authorities clear traders’
misconception
The misunderstanding of textile goods transporters on
transporting textile goods valued below Rs 50,000 only
through e-way bill was cleared at the meeting convened
by the Federation of Surat Textile Traders’ Association
(FOSTTA) with senior authorities of the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) here on Thursday.
With a view to solve
misinterpretation of GST Council’s decision on e-way
bill, FOSTTA had convened a meeting with textile
transporters and senior authorities of the GST on
Thursday. The issue of transporters asking for the e-way
bill from textile traders for goods valued below Rs
50,000 was discussed and resolved. FOSTTA office-bearers
said the GST Council has decided during the meeting on
March 10, 2018, that goods valued below Rs 50,000 will
not have to be furnished e-way bill for transportation.
However, textile goods transporters were not taking the
delivery of goods without e-way bill, even for the goods
valued at Rs10,000.

The GST Council has made it mandatory for a registered
person to generate an e-way bill only if the value of
consignment exceeds Rs 50,000. The provision of the
sub-rule (7) of rule 138 has been deferred temporarily.
FOSTTA secretary Champalal Bothra said, “We had invited
senior GST officers for the meeting and to dispel the
misunderstanding prevailing among transporters for
transporting consignment below Rs 50,000 value. Now,
things have become clear and the transporters have
agreed to transport goods as per the decision of the GST
Council.”
