E-way bill compliance shifts with mandatory Ship To GSTIN, delivery closure, and API updates for GST systems.
GSTN has introduced three e-Way Bill changes effective from 15 June 2026: mandatory reporting of the Ship To GSTIN in Bill-To/Ship-To transactions, a voluntary e-Way Bill closure facility, and API updates for ERP vendors and system integrators. The Ship To GSTIN must be entered for a registered consignee, while URP applies for an unregistered consignee, and the portal will not generate the e-Way Bill unless the field is completed. The closure facility permits formal closure after delivery by authorised participants through OTP-based authentication, with an API-based option also available. (AI Summary)
