By Jim Gibbins - 1st March 2019
India – The Goods & Service Tax (GST) and E-Way Bill System1 is expected to be integrated with the FASTag2 mechanism introduced by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) from April 2019 to help track movement of goods and check GST evasion.
The government has previously proposed fitment of electronic-toll tags be mandatory for all commercial vehicles later this year – the date is expected to be confirmed after the union and general elections in May 2019.
The revenue department has set up an officers committee to integrate the E-Way Bill, FASTag and the DMIC’s Logistics Data Bank (LDB) services3, after consultation with transporters.
