Debate Over E-Way Bill Exemption: Does GIDC Qualify as a 'City' Under Municipal Laws? A discussion on the applicability of an E-way bill exemption notification to the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) in Vapi revolves around whether GIDC can be classified as a city under the Gujarat Municipalities Act 1963 or the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949. One participant suggests that industrial corporations are considered part of municipal limits, implying GIDC could be included.
