E-WAY BILL SYSTEM
Blocking/Unblocking of E-way Bills Generation

1. What is Blocking and Unblocking of E-waybill generation?
   Ans:
   Blocking of e-waybill generation means not allowing the taxpayer to generate e-waybills if he /she has not filed GST Return for latest two successive months or quarters. The blocked GSTIN cannot be used to generate the e-way bills either as Consignor or Consignee. Unblocking means allowing the generation of e-way bills for the GSTIN (if blocked) after the filing of the Return.
2. How does blocking take place in the e-waybill system?
   Ans:
   If the tax payers have not filed the latest two successive month returns on the GST Common Portal, then these tax payers will be blocked for the generation of the e-way bills as per the rule. The E-way Bill system will communicate with the GST Common Portal to find out the filing details of the taxpayers.
3. How does unblocking take place in e-waybill system?
   Ans:
   If the blocked tax payer has filed the Return on the GST Common Portal, then next day morning his GSTIN is unblocked on the e-way Bill system and allow him to generate the e-way bills.
   If the tax payer wants to generate the e-way bills immediately after filing the Return, then he can go to the e-way bill portal and select the option ‘Search  Update Block Status ‘ and then enter his/her GSTIN and see the status. If it is blocked then he/she can use update option to get the latest filing status from the GST Common Portal and get unblocked.
   Still if the system is not unblocking the GSTIN for e-way bill generation, then he can contact the Help Desk of the GST and raise the complaint to get his/her case resolved.
4. In spite of filing latest Returns, I have been blocked from e-waybill generation. What should I do?
   Ans:
   If the tax payer wants to generate the e-way bills immediately after filing the returns, then he can go to the e-way bill portal and select the option ‘Search  Update Block Status ‘ and then enter his/her GSTIN and see the status. If it is blocked then he/she can use update option to get the latest filing status from the GST Common Portal and get unblocked.
   Still the system is not unblocking the GSTIN for e-way bill generation, then he can contact the Help Desk of the GST and raise the complaint to get his/her case resolved.
