Reliable and Always Ready
The two versions of the E-Way Bill system shall be linked and updated in real-time, which signifies that data will be synchronised quickly. If users encounter that one portal has technical issues, then they can switch to the other portal to continue their work without interruption.
Easy Access for Businesses
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) make the new functionalities available, which makes it simpler for large companies and transport operators to combine such features into their systems. Earlier, businesses have tested these APIs in a sandbox environment.
Looking Ahead
With the same upgrade, businesses can ensure seamless operation even if there are any technical issues. GSTN, with time, plans to link the data from both portals for effective service.
All businesses and logistics partners have been motivated by GSTN to start exploring the updated features and adapt their systems ahead of the launch date. Users can get more assistance by checking out the user manuals or contacting the GST helpdesk.
