[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Unblocking an <\/span>eway bill<\/span><\/a> is crucial to continue transporting goods from the seller to the buyer. A blocked GSTIN or a blocked eway bill service would negatively impact any business if not taken care of immediately.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This page discusses <\/span>what eway bill blocking is<\/b>, the<\/span> reasons why an eway bill is blocked<\/b>, <\/span>different ways to unblock an eway bill<\/b>, <\/span>the effects of eway bill blocking<\/b> on the taxpayer, and other relevant topics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is eWay Bill Blocking?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Blocking an eway bill means not allowing the registered person or the transporter to generate an eway bill on a specific <\/span>GSTIN<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The e-way bill system has launched a new feature that blocks\/unblocks a taxpayer\u2019s GSTIN. A GSTIN or GST number can be blocked for various reasons, and once blocked, no eway bill can be generated on the GST number. None of the eway bill end users, including the consignee, consignor, or transporter, can generate an eway bill on that GSTIN.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is eWay Bill Generation Blocked?<\/b><\/h2>\n

eWay bill generation is blocked, or a GSTIN is blocked only when a taxpayer fails to file a <\/span>GSTR-3B<\/span><\/a> return or Statement in FORM CMP-08 for the last two successive months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be a standstill if a taxpayer fails to file GSTR-3B for two or more consecutive months since they cannot create e-way bills to dispatch and receive goods. The e-way bill generation will not be unblocked until a taxpayer files GSTR-3B.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, taxpayers’ GSTIN will be barred from the e-way bill site starting in March if they haven\u2019t submitted their GSTR-3B for January and February. The primary goal behind this blocking\/unblocking is to find the non-filers of <\/span>GST returns<\/span><\/a> and bring them into compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Identifying a Blocked eWay Bill<\/b><\/h2>\n

The taxpayer whose GSTIN is blocked for eway bill generation will be notified about the same on the registered mobile number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When trying to generate an eway bill, if the user sees the following pop-up error message, it indicates that the eway billing is blocked for the user.<\/span><\/p>\n
