The GST E way bill intrastate was applicable from 20th May still giving multiple problems to the traders at various stages. There have been 41 days passed at the time of writing this news, but the textile traders are in deep problem due to the implementation of GST E Way Bill and its compliance requirement.

Almost all the traders including the textile merchants are demanding to end the GST E Way Bill era as soon as possible or at least do some aftermatch to solve the problems arising due to it.

Problems of GST E Way Bill for Traders:

The trade associations of Rajasthan and chamber of commerce and industry have sent multiple letters to the CM of Rajasthan to make a correction in the provision fo GST E Way Bill.

Generate E Way Bill Every Time Goods are Supplied

The whole trader’s body has come up with this particular problem, which narrates that everytime the goods are sent, the GST E Way Bill has to be generated. Due to the nature of job work, the goods are sent each and every time and this had created a long pain over the traders.

Why Intra City E Way Bill

One more issue arising due to the applicability of intracity e waybill is that the traders have been registering the goods and have been paying GST on all the goods including 12 per cent on yarn and 5-5 per cent on both weaving and processing. Still, the trader’s body has to generate GST E Way Bill every time to supply the goods.

Internet & Electricity Cut Remains a Problem

GST E Way Bill has to be generated while supplying goods but if in case the electricity and internet issue arises, the supplying trucks are subjected to stand still. The issues are pertinent in various parts of the state especially electricity cut prone areas which are to be solved soon.

24 Hours Limited Time

There is a limit of 24 hours for each GST E Way Bill and if in case the goods are not being transported within this time period, then the E Way Bill has to be regenerated.

Extra Technical Support

The traders are also in problem due to daily revisions in E Way Bill provisions which had led to extra support from CA and staff. This incurs charges and leads to time wastage.

No Exact Prices of Goods

All the raw material is being transported at an estimated price with no conclusion of the final price. The weaving processing makes price revision which is not included in the E Way Bill leading to variation in prices.
