GSTN has today announced on the GST portal that big taxpayers (turnover exceeding Rs 5 Crore) who have failed to file their GSTR-3B returns for two or more months will not be able to generate the e-way bills.
The GSTN announcement is reproduced below for ready reference of our readers:
1.In terms of Rule 138 E (b) of the CGST Rules, 2017, the E Way Bill generation facility of a person is liable to be restricted, in case the person fails to file their GSTR-3B returns, for a consecutive period of two months or more.
2. As you might be aware that the GST Council in its last meeting has decided that this provision will be made applicable for the taxpayers whose Aggregate Annual Turn Over (AATO, PAN based) is more than Rs 5 Crores.
3. Thus, if the GSTIN associated with the respective PAN (with AATO over Rs 5 Cr.) has failed to file their GSTR-3B Return for 02 or more tax periods, up to the month of tax period of August, 2020, their EWB generation facility will be blocked on the EWB Portal. Please note that the EWB generation facility for such GSTINs (whether as consignor or consignee or by transporter) will be blocked on EWB Portal after 15th October, 2020.
4. To avail continuous EWB generation facility on EWB Portal, you are therefore advised to file your pending GSTR 3B returns immediately.
5. Please ignore this update if:
- You are not registered on the EWB portal or
- You have already filed your GSTR-3B Return for August, 2020 or
- Your AATO (PAN based) is below Rs 5 Cr.
