GSTN’s Advisory on the Introduction of E-Way Bill (EWB) for Gold in Kerala State

Introduction of E-Way Bill for Gold: The GST Network (GSTN) announced a new feature allowing taxpayers in Kerala to generate E-Way Bills (EWBs) specifically for goods under Chapter 71, effective January 20, 2025. This update facilitates compliance with state regulations and excludes imitation jewellery from this option.
Scope of Coverage: The new EWB feature applies only to the intrastate movement of gold and related items as classified under Chapter 71, with taxpayers still able to generate EWBs for imitation jewellery (HSN 7117) through the traditional method in the EWB system.
Support and Compliance: Taxpayers are encouraged to reach out to the GST Helpdesk for assistance or consult the detailed user guide available on the EWB portal to ensure compliance with the new regulations.
