The e-Way Bill portal facilitates a registered/ enroled user to maintain ‘Masters’- An account of all the Products, Clients, Suppliers and transporters frequently dealtwith by the taxpayer/user. In this article, we cover the following on the ‘ My Masters’ feature available on the eWay Bill portal:

Latest updates on the Validity of e-way bills

29th August 2021
From 1st May 2021 to 18th August 2021, the taxpayers will not face blocking of e-way bills for non-filing of GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B (two months or more for monthly filer and one quarter or more for QRMP taxpayers) for March 2021 to May 2021.

4th August 2021
Blocking of e-way bills due to non-filing of GSTR-3B resumes from 15th August 2021.

1st June 2021
1. The e-way bill portal, in its release notes, has clarified that a suspended GSTIN cannot generate an e-way bill. However, a suspended GSTIN as a recipient or as a transporter can get a generated e-way bill.
2. the mode of transport ‘Ship’ has now been updated to ‘Ship/Road cum Ship’ so that the user can enter a vehicle number where goods are initially moved by road and a bill of lading number and date for movement by ship. This will help in availing the ODC benefits for movement using ships and facilitate the updating of vehicle details as and when moved on road.

18th May 2021
The CBIC in Notification 15/2021-Central Tax has notified that the blocking of GSTINs for e-Way Bill generation is now considered only for the defaulting supplier’s GSTIN and not for the defaulting recipient or the transporter’s GSTIN.

Why are Masters required for E- waybill?

While generating an e- way bill there are few items to be mentioned such as Customer’s details, Transporter Name, Products supplied along with HSN, Rate etc. Entering these details every time you generate an e- waybill will be a very tedious and time-consuming job. To avoid repetitive efforts over entering the same details, the concept of masters have been introduced. Any person registered on E- way bill portal can maintain master for the following heads:

  1. Products
  2. Clients/ Customers
  3. Suppliers
  4. Transporters

Every time the initial name of product or customer or supplier or transporter is entered, the rest of the details are auto-populated. This makes the process of generating e- way bill quick and easier avoiding chances of errors. Let’s see the step-by-step process of creating masters:
