“With the roll-out of e-Way bill system in these states, it is expected that trade and industry will be further facilitated insofar as the transport of goods is concerned, thereby eventually paving the way for a nation-wide single e-Way Bill system,” the Finance Ministry said in a statement.
While announcing the rollout for the inter-state e-Way bill, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had last month said that based on the performance, the system would be rolled out for the intra-state movement of goods as well in a phased manner with four to five states coming under it every week.
Under the GST regime, an e-Way bill needs to be generated and carried for movement of all goods valued at over Rs 50,000.
