“The blocking of e-way bill (EWB) generation facility has now resumed on the EWB portal for all the taxpayers. Going forward, from the tax period August 2021 onwards, the system will periodically check the status of returns filed in form GSTR-3B or the statements filed in form GST CMP-08 as per the regular procedure followed before the pandemic, and block the generation of EWBs as per rule, stated by GSTN.”
