GST: Here’s what to do if your e-Way bill generation is blocked for tax defaults

The government has introduced an important change around the e-way bill generation with an aim to crack down on GST non-filers and evaders. With effect from December 2, 2019, the blocking and unblocking of the e-way bill generation facility has been implemented on the e-way bill portal. E-way bill generation has been barred for taxpayers who haven’t filed their returns for the previous two consecutive months. 

What is the intention of blocking e-way bill generation for taxpayers? 
As per GSTN data, around 20.75 lakh GSTINs have not filed their GSTR-3B for September and October months. Also, out of these 20.75 lakh GSTINs, around 3.47 lakh GSTINs (16.7%) had transactions for September and October 2019 in the e-way bill system. Considering the rise in the number of tax defaulters, their ability to generate e-way bill had to be blocked. The tax department is of the view that non-filing of returns has been the primary reason for the decline in the GST revenue collection. 

How will blocking of e-way bill generation work? 
Every taxpayer who is registered under GST must file GSTR-3B, on a monthly basis. GSTR-3B has details of sales and purchases made by a business and the final tax payable after claiming input credit. 

As per the new rule, when a taxpayer fails to file his or her GST returns (GSTR-3B) for two continuous months, he or she will get blocked from generating an e-way bill. A GSTIN which is blocked cannot be used for generating an e-way bill either as a consignor or consignee. 

For example, if a taxpayer has not filed his GSTR-3B return for September and
