They say there are doubts about the technological backbone is not robust and small transporters have not yet been registered
As the e-Way Bill for transport of goods is getting implemented from Thursday, more and more business bodies are coming out in opposition from businessmen and tax experts. They say there are doubts about the technological backbone is not robust and small transporters have not yet been registered.
Previously e-Way Bill for interstate transportation of goods was to come into force from April 1, 2018. However, it was advanced to February 1. The move has caught businessmen on the wrong foot. They demand that sufficient time should be given to businessmen go get on board.
Saurashtra Oil Mills Association (SOMA), in a letter to Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, said that a large number of transporters are unregistered. This would be a major bottleneck in the transportation of goods. Ït can potentially create a havoc. Transportation of essential goods may also take a hit because of the move,” SOMA president Samir Shah said in the letter. Shah said that most players in the segment are small and the hasty implementation of the Bill will hit them hard.
He suggested state Finance Minister Nitin Patel exempt edible oil from the list of 19 commodities, for which e-Way Bill has been mandatory for transportation within the state. The state government on Wednesday exempted intra-city transport of goods from e-Way Bill.
Shah demanded that the limit of Rs50,000 for e-Way Bill is meagre and it should be raised to Rs 5 lakh. Talking to DNA, Shah said that the validity of one day for e-Way Bill will also cause problems as the goods will now have to be delivered within the same day. He urged the central and state governments to remove the bottlenecks first so that businessmen would find it easier to come on board.
