The e-way bill facility bill be available for trial run from January 16. These decisions were taken at the 24th meeting of the GST Council headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

When goods are transported for less than 10 km within a state, the supplier or the transporter need not furnish details on the GST portal.

The GST revenue for October stood at Rs 83,346 crore, the lowest since the implementation of GST from July 1. It was significantly lower than the September figure of Rs 95,131 crore.
