Question – From 1st April, E-way bill has been made applicable for interstate movements but is E-way bill applicable in your state for intra-state movement?

Answer – E-way bill has been made applicable w.e.f 1 April 2018 for inter-state movements of goods. However, presently the E-way bill operations are not available for intra-state (within the state) movement of goods, except for Karnataka State.

Karnataka has been running the E-way bill system for both inter-state movements as well as intra-state movement of goods since September and is continuing the same system. So Karnataka is the only state to have E-way bill applicable for intra-state movement as of now.

For other states, E-way bill operations for intra-state (within the state) will be made available in a phased manner, as and when instructed by GST Council.
