In order to reduce expenses and discrepancies in generating and filing e-waybills under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, the GST Network that operates the system has called for requests from service providers to automatically calculate the distance between two postal index number (PIN) codes, reports Mint. The GSTN along with the National Informatics Centre (NIC) has floated a request for proposal (RFP) for the same.
The e-waybill system was rolled out under GST as a form of electronic documentation of goods to ensure that they do not go under or unreported. Used as an anti-tax evasion system, it is generated online for all goods moving within a state and across multiple states.
Transporters currently have to enter the PIN code of the origin and the destination along with the distance while generating the e-waybill. The waybill is valid for a day for distances less than 100 km and thereafter the validity is extended by a day for every subsequent 100 km.
