Introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) across India with effect from 1st of July 2017 is a very significant step in the field of indirect tax reforms in India. For quick and easy movement of goods across India without any hindrance, all the check posts across the country are abolished. The GST system provides a provision of e-Way Bill, a document to be carried by the person in charge of conveyance, generated electronically from the common portal. To implement the e-Way Bill system, ICT based solution is required. Hence, as approved by the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council, a web based solution has been designed and developed by National Informatics Centre and it is being rolled out for the use of taxpayers and transporters. The offline tool has been developed to generate the bulk e-way bills by the tax payers and transporters.

E-Way Bill offline tool enables bulk JSON preparation, upload and portal generation for GST e-waybill management. The manual explains use of an offline bulk-upload tool to generate and manage e-Way Bill records under GST. It describes preparing validated JSON files (or using supplied Excel preparation tools) for Bulk e-Way Bill generation, Bulk Consolidated e-Way Bills, Bulk Masters, and Bulk Vehicle Number updates; uploading them via the portal; and handling generation results and errors with exportable reports.
