Vehicle Nos. on Way Bills
Karnataka & Gujarat are continuing with their earlier way bill system with some modifications as per GST requirements.
In the new way bill system, it is mandatory to mention the vehicle No., otherwise the way bill will not get issued.
This is not logical because the consignor or consignee does not know the vehicle No. in advance, particularly when it comes to part loads. The goods are delivered to the transporter's warehouse and depending on the load booked during the day, the transporter arranges trucks during evening or night in places like Bhiwandi, which is the logistics hub in Maharashtra.
In this situation, how is the consignor or consignee expected to know the vehicle No. in advance ? The truck No. is not mentioned even on most of the LR's.
The government has to be practical and not insist on the vehicle No. to be mentioned on the individual way bills issued to the consignor or consignee. Alternatively, the field for mentioning vehicle No. should be left for the transporter to fill in each way bill as only they have this information.
Hope the government comes up with a solution for this problem because currently the consignors and consignees mention arbitrary vehicle Nos. to issue the way bill, which opens them up to penal action and also open doors to corruption by government inspectors. more

Introduction of Waybill only delay the material shipment and asking for vehicle number is a absurd idea. When material are send through courior, vehicle number keep on changing. So in my view waybill should be abolished instead invoice should be treated as waybill. more

The founding Fathers in other countries followed a principle when making the first laws in their countries - When something cannot be implemented - then it should not be made into a law as it would give rise to harrasment and corruption ! In Sales tax - when you cannot even control the borders of a country - then how come you are passing laws to control the internal borders of your country ? This only gives rise to harassment of the common man as well as rise in corruption - Some other system must be found - and this is a great time for the government to rise above and abolish internal borders for GST purpose as it only gives rise to harassment and corruption ! more

All new regulations are based on previous experiences of the tax authorities. Goods have been moved without bills from the northern most part of the country to the southern most part in the past ( with the help of corrupt officials at the check post). Hence the Government wants the Eway bill to mention the vehicle number, so that the movement of the vehicle can be tracked and any wrong doings punished. Our wrong deeds of the past are haunting us now. more

We have been entering the transport co. name. The Eway gets released. The transport co. enters the truck no. All of them have hub and spoke system so in all probabilities there will be 3-4 truck nos mentioned eventually. more

I have also raised similar query but unable to get attention of the concerned, govt before making anything mandatory should think on practicality rathe than making compulsion, evern filing of GST return should be made simple like VAT why 3 types of tax and why dealer has to do the work of govt staff like setoff of each type tax, this is ridiculous and unnecessary based on figures provided the liability should automatically calculate and tax payer can pay diff of tax as one instead of each tax, here by mistake he might end of loosing his working capital becos instead of tax A if he deposits in tax B then he is in soup, so govt should make simple tax return and one type only, and if seller not uploaded by any means the Invoice issued to the buyer is the authencity for avaialing iNput credit and buyer should not be penalised for none of his mistake, like this Return filing should be simple !! more
