GSTN Issued Guidelines for Accurate Entry of Receipt Numbers in the E-Way Bill (EWB) System for Leased Wagons

GSTN Update dated December 24th, 2024

The GSTN has issued an update to provide guidelines for accurate entry of Receipt Numbers in the E-Way Bill (EWB) System for Leased Wagons. The taxpayers transporting goods via Leased Wagons must prefix Receipt Numbers with the identifier “L” when entering them into the EWB system. In case of discrepancies such as mismatched or missing numbers, taxpayers will receive an alert and must correct the entry promptly.

Similarly, the taxpayers transporting goods via PMS and FOIS have already been advised to enter PWB/RR numbers with Prefix P for PMS and F for FOIS systems (refer to the advisories issued for PMS and FOIS). The users will be mandated to input PWB/RR numbers with the appropriate prefixes to ensure proper validation in the EWB system. These changes would come into effect from January 1st, 2025.
