New Features Introduced in GST E-Way Bill System For Enrolled Transporters & Taxpayers with Common Enrollment

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

In order to enhance the security of E-Way Bill login access, 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) has been implemented and is presently optional. However, it is important to note that after a specific timeframe, 2FA will become mandatory. For users who operate the E-Way Bill system from multiple locations using a single credential, it is strongly recommended to promptly create sub-users. This will help ensure smoother and more secure access to the system.

Deregistration For Transporters

Transporters who have previously enrolled in the E-Way Bill Portal using PAN-based registration and no longer wish to remain in the system can now choose to de-enroll themselves. Upon de-enrollment, their access to the E-Way Bill portal will be revoked. This facility provides a simple and convenient way for any enrolled transporter to easily unregister from the E-Way Bill system.

Once the de-registration process is completed, the Transporter ID linked to the E-Way Bill becomes inactive and cannot be utilized. Furthermore, it is important to note that after de-registration, it is not possible to update Part-B details for the de-registered Transporter ID.

Cancellation of Enrollment

In certain cases, taxpayers who have previously completed common enrollment may now have the need or desire to cancel their common enrollment ID for various reasons. To cater to this requirement, a cancellation feature for common enrollment has been introduced. Taxpayers can make use of this facility to voluntarily de-register themselves from common enrollment.

Once the common enrollment ID is canceled, it becomes ineligible for updating transporter details. However, it is important to note that Part-B details can still be modified for E-Way Bills that were assigned with the common enrollment ID prior to its cancellation.

After canceling common enrollment, a time limit of one month will be given. Once this time limit expires, login access will be blocked, and no further activity can be conducted in the E-Way Bill system using that particular ID. However, users can still opt to log in again with their GSTIN credentials & generate new E-Way Bills.

The recent improvements made to the E-Way Bill system offer enhanced flexibility and control to both transporters and taxpayers. These enhancements allow for convenient de-registration and cancellation of common enrollment, while also ensuring advanced security through the implementation of 2-Factor Authentication.
