The GST Network (GSTN) has announced the integration of the E-Way Bill (EWB) system with the Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) of Indian Railways. This integration ensures seamless tracking and validation of goods transported via rail.
Key Points:
1. Applicability: Taxpayers using Indian Railways FOIS must accurately enter Railway Receipt Numbers (RR No./eT-RRs) into the EWB system.
2. Format for Entry: RR numbers must be entered as F<FromStationCode><RR No> (e.g., FSJWT123456789).
3. Part-B Update: For rail transport, update Part-B of the EWB using the “Multi-Transport Mode” and select “Rail.”
4. Validation: The EWB system validates RR numbers against FOIS data. Incorrect entries trigger alerts.
Accurate entry and adherence to these guidelines will prevent delays, ensure compliance, and facilitate smooth operations.
