A new feature in the e-Way Bill (EWB) system has been introduced by the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) to enable unregistered dealers to generate GST e-way bills for the movement of goods.
W.e.f 11th February 2025 it permits the unregistered dealers to register via Form ENR-03 and get a unique Enrollment ID. For generating GST e-Way Bills the same ID could be used to substitute GST Identification Number (GSTIN).
As per Notification No. 12/2024 dated July 10, 2024, the very initiative objected to facilitating the movement of goods by permitting the unregistered people to adhere to the e-way bill regulations without needing a GSTIN.
What is the Advantage of Form ENR-03?
- Ease of GST Compliance: Unregistered dealers who faced challenges before in generating the e-way bills could now do the same without requiring a GSTIN.
- Improved Transparency: The same feature assures the goods transported via the unregistered dealers are effectively documented, lessening tax evasion.
- Streamlined Goods Movement: Small traders and businesses could not adhere to the GST norms in a more efficient way preventing disruptions in the supply chain.
- Track Your Order Status: The unique Enrolment ID assures effective monitoring of goods movement, helping statutory authorities.
