GSTN Update dated December 17th, 2024
The GSTN has issued an update to inform that NIC will be rolling out updated versions of the E-Way Bill and E-Invoice Systems effective from 1st January 2025. One of the key changes involves the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Currently, MFA, which requires login using a username, password, and OTP (sent to the registered mobile number, Sandes app, or similar platforms), is mandatory for taxpayers with an Annual Aggregate Turnover (AATO) exceeding Rs 100 Crores since 20th August 2023.
Now, w.e.f. 1st January 2025, MFA will become mandatory for taxpayers with AATO exceeding Rs 20 Crores, from 1st February 2025 for those with AATO exceeding Rs 5 Crores, and from 1st April 2025 for all other taxpayers and users. Also, the generation of E-Way Bills will be restricted to documents dated within 180 days from the date of generation. For instance, documents dated earlier than 5th July 2024 will not be eligible for E-Way Bill generation starting 1st January 2025.
Furthermore, the extension of E-Way Bills will be limited to 360 days from their original date of generation. For example, an E-Way Bill generated on 1st January 2025 can only be extended up to 25th December 2025.
