Common Enrollment Number for transporters under GST
A new facility of a unique common enrollment number with an E-way bill system was launched for the convenience of transporters who are running their business in multiple states with the same permanent account number. Upon various requests from transporters, CBIC had issued a notification no. 28/2018 dated 19th June 2018 to amend the CGST Rules and accommodate the change. This will enable the transport organization to have a centralized system for generating & updating e-way bills throughout the country. With the help of the enrolment number, Part – B can be updated from any of its branches, throughout the country, without further changing the transporter number.
Such transporters have different GSTINs for different states issued under the same PAN. This will also reduce the burden of managing multiple registrations on the e-way bill portal. Compliance with the e way bill system for such transporters is time-consuming with an added cost at the same time it is more prone to mistakes such as the assignment of e-way bills to other transporters, uploading details of detention of vehicles, etc.
