Certain changes have been done in validations for generation of E Way Bill w.r.t. blocking of generation for e Invoice enabled tax payers , distance and PIN codes. Details are available in the “Release Notes .”
Changes in PIN to PIN distances: (dtd:07.05.2020)
Based on the feedback from the stakeholders, the PIN to PIN distances have been re-visited and distances for some combinations of PIN codes have been updated in the E-Way Bill database.
In case the users have built a database of distances for two PIN codes based on the distances in E-Way Bill System, the users are requested to get the data updated.
In API, if the error code in the response is 702, get the PIN codes and distance from "alert" attribute in the response JSON
Changes in 1.03 Version (dtd:23.04.2019)
i) Generation of E-waybill:
The distance between two locations is automatically calculated based on fromPincode and toPincode, with a grace of 10% extra
distance, otherwise appropriate error is responded without generating the E-waybill. If the distance provided is less than the distance in the database then, E-waybill will be generated without any alert message.
If the distance between the two pin-codes provided is not available in our database, E-waybill will be generated with an alert message as "The distance between the given pincodes are not available in the system ." and its a responsibility of the generator to provide correct distance in such cases.
If fromPincode and toPincode are same then, maximum distance allowed is 100 km.
Generation of duplicate E-waybills for the same document by Consignee and Transporter is not allowed hence forth, hence now onwards neither Consignor nor Consignee nor Transporter can generate duplicate E-waybills for the same document.
ii) Extend Validity API:
To distinguish between the goods either on Road or in transit, new parameter transitType ( R- Road, W - Warehouse, O-Others) are introduced for Extend E-waybill API.
If transmode is 1 to 4 then consignmentStatus value should be M and transitType should be blank ("transitType":"").
If transmode is 5 then consignmentStatus value should be T and transitType value can be either R or W or O.
