Why an e-permit is not a necessity
Under the model GST law, it is clearly stated that the “central or a state government may require the person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods of value exceeding. 50,000 to carry with him such documents as may be prescribed in this behalf, where any vehicle referred to in sub-section (1) is intercepted by the proper officer at any place, he may require the person in charge of the said vehicle to produce such documents for verification and the said person shall be liable to produce the documents.”
Thus, it is not really necessary for transporters to carry an extra permit on their person. Many would have thought that GST would kill the long line of trucks waiting at check posts to be cleared by authorities, but will this clause being added in the law, it doesn’t seem likely anymore.
