The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) on December 18, 2024, issued the Advisory for Entry of RR No./eT-RRs in EWB system Post EWB-FOIS Integration.
The following has been stated namely: -
• This advisory informs taxpayers that the Indian Railways FOIS is integrated with the E-Way Bill (EWB) system via APIs.
• Taxpayers must ensure the correct entry of Railway Receipt Numbers (RR No.) or electronic RR Numbers (eT-RRs) in the EWB system. The RR/eT-RR should be entered in the prescribed format.
• For goods transported via FOIS, taxpayers must update Part-B of the EWB using the "Multi-Transport Mode" option and select Rail as the mode.
• The EWB system will validate the RR No./eT-RRs, alerting users of any mismatches. Accurate entries ensure smooth tracking and validation of goods. For issues, taxpayers can raise a support ticket with the RR details.
