GST E-Way Bill System Adds New Functionalities for Enrolled Transporters and Common Enrolled Taxpayers

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) e-way bill system has introduced new functionalities to enhance user control and functionality. These include the option for transporters to de-register themselves from the E-Way Bill system, two-factor authentication (2FA) for login access, and the ability to cancel common enrollment for taxpayers. The de-registration feature allows transporters to easily revoke their access to the E-Way Bill portal. The 2FA feature enhances security and will soon become mandatory. Taxpayers who have completed common enrollment can now cancel their enrollment ID if needed. These enhancements provide greater flexibility and control for users and ensure a more secure E-Way Bill system.

Updated GSTN Advisory - Time Limit for Reporting of E-Invoice is 7 days

The following Advisory has been issued in GSTN portal

  It is to inform you that it has been decided by the Government to impose a time limit on reporting old invoices on the e-invoice IRP portals for taxpayers with AATO greater than or equal to 100 crores.

  To ensure timely compliance, taxpayers in this category will not be allowed to report invoices older than 7 days on the date of reporting.

  Please note that this restriction will apply to the all document types for which IRN is to be generated. Thus, once issued, the credit / Debit note will also have to be reported within 7 days of issue.

  For example, if an invoice has a date of April 1, 2023, it cannot be reported after April 8, 2023. The validation system built into the invoice registration portal will disallow the user from reporting the invoice after the 7-day window. Hence, it is essential for taxpayers to ensure that they report the invoice within the 7-day window provided by the new time limit.

  It is further to clarify that there will be no such reporting restriction on taxpayers with AATO less than 100 crores, as of now.

  In order to provide sufficient time for taxpayers to comply with this requirement, which may require changes to your systems, we propose to implement it from 01.05.2023 onwards.
