Centre Defers Launch Of E-Waybill System, Cites Technical Glitches

The much-awaited launch of the e-waybill system to complement the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime that was supposed to happen today has been indefinitely postponed by the Centre. The reason given was technical difficulties faced by traders.

The system was thrown open for registrations for a 14-day trial period beginning 16 January and was supposed to be mandatory from today (1 February). However, technical glitches, mostly due to overloading on the servers has resulted it in being deferred indefinitely.
