Dated: January 24, 2025

It is hereby informed that a new option for generating E-Way Bills (EWB) for gold has been introduced in the EWB system, effective from January 20, 2025. This feature has been made available to assist taxpayers in Kerala State in generating EWBs for goods classified under Chapter 71, excluding imitation jewellery, for intrastate movement, in compliance with the Government of Kerala's notification.

Key Points for Taxpayers:

• Scope of Coverage:
  • The EWB can be generated for goods under Chapter 71 (excluding HSN 7117 - Imitation Jewellery) using the new "EWB for gold" option.
  • This option is applicable only for intrastate movement within Kerala.
• Generation of EWB for Imitation Jewellery (HSN 7117):
  • Taxpayers can continue to generate EWB for imitation jewellery under the usual EWB system.

For further assistance or queries, taxpayers are advised to contact the GST Helpdesk or refer to the detailed user guide available on the EWB Portal.

Thank you,
