E-Way Bill 2.0 Portal Launching July 1, 2025: Enhanced Inter-Operability and Business Continuity
New Delhi, India – Get ready for a significant upgrade in how e-way bills are managed! The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has announced the launch of the E-Way Bill 2.0 portal (https://ewaybill2.gst.gov.in) by NIC, effective July 1, 2025. This new portal is designed to revolutionize inter-operability with the existing E-Way Bill 1.0 system, ensuring smoother logistics and enhanced business continuity for taxpayers and transporters.
What’s New and Why It Matters?
The E-Way Bill 2.0 portal is a direct response to the need for uninterrupted services, especially during unforeseen technical issues. It introduces a dual-portal model that will operate on a real-time synchronized architecture, meaning data is mirrored across both systems within seconds.
This synchronization ensures that if the E-Way Bill 1.0 portal experiences downtime, you can seamlessly switch to E-Way Bill 2.0 to perform all necessary operations, like updating Part-B details. This eliminates reliance on a single portal and guarantees your logistics operations remain uninterrupted.
Key Inter-Operable Services Available:
The new portal expands cross-functional services. In addition to existing features like generating, updating vehicle details, and printing E-Way Bills, you’ll now be able to:
- Generate E-Way Bills based on Part-A details provided by the supplier.
- Generate Consolidated E-Way Bills.
- Extend the validity of E-Way Bills.
- Update transporter details.
- Retrieve Consolidated E-Way Bills.
Crucially, criss-cross operations are fully enabled. This means an E-Way Bill generated on the 1.0 portal can be updated on the 2.0 portal, and vice-versa.
API Access for Seamless Integration
For taxpayers and logistics operators who rely on automated processes, all these services will also be accessible via APIs. These APIs are currently available in a sandbox environment for testing, allowing you to integrate with the new system ahead of the launch.
Get Ready!
We encourage all taxpayers and logistics operators to familiarize themselves with the new functionalities and explore the API services where applicable. This upgrade promises a more robust and resilient e-way bill system, making your compliance smoother and more reliable.
