📢 E-Way Bill Alert: Extension of Timeline for New Portals Functional Enhancement ⏳

Following representations from the trade and industry, GSTN has officially extended the implementation date for the upcoming e-Way Bill portal changes.
Key Highlights:

The Extended Changes: This extension applies directly to both the Mandatory capture of "Ship To GSTIN" in Bill-To/Ship-To transactions and the Voluntary E-Way Bill Closure facility.

Reason for Extension: Industry stakeholders requested more time to complete system modifications, API/ERP testing, and master data updates across their IT ecosystems.

New Effective Date: Both functionalities will now be implemented with effect from August 1, 2026 (instead of the previously announced June 15, 2026).

Action Point: Taxpayers, GSPs, and ERP providers should utilize this additional window to finalize all necessary configurations and operational preparedness before the revised August deadline.
