Interception of conveyances: limited clerical e-way bill errors avoid seizure and attract nominal penalties and reporting instead. The circular clarifies interception and detention rules: specified documents and a valid e-way bill are required for goods in movement; absence permits detention and seizure. If consignments carry invoices and a valid e-way bill, limited clerical discrepancies (name spellings with correct GSTIN, minor PIN or locality errors not affecting validity, small document or vehicle number mistakes, limited HSN digit differences with correct tax rate) should not attract detention proceedings. In those cases a nominal penalty must be imposed for each consignment and officers must report weekly consignments exempted from detention.
