The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced a new feature in the e-Way Bill (EWB) system to enable unregistered dealers to generate e-Way Bills for the movement of goods. Effective February 11, 2025, this feature allows unregistered dealers to enroll using Form ENR-03 and obtain a unique Enrollment ID. This ID can be used in place of a GST Identification Number (GSTIN) for generating e-Way Bills.
This initiative, by Notification No. 12/2024 dated July 10, 2024, aims to streamline the movement of goods by allowing unregistered persons to comply with e-Way Bill regulations without requiring a GSTIN.
How is Form ENR-03 Beneficial?
1. Ease of Compliance: Unregistered dealers, who previously faced challenges in generating e-Way Bills, can now do so without needing a GSTIN.
2. Enhanced Transparency: The feature ensures that goods transported by unregistered dealers are properly documented, reducing tax evasion.
3. Seamless Movement of Goods: Small traders and businesses can now comply with GST regulations more efficiently, avoiding disruptions in the supply chain.
4. Verification & Tracking: The unique Enrolment ID ensures proper tracking of goods movement, aiding regulatory authorities.
