The National Information Center (“NIC”) has issued a common enrolment for registered transporters. The 15 – digit common enrollment number beginning with 88 followed by Permanent Account Number and the last three digits are system generated is valid throughout the country. This common enrolment number can be used by the tax payer in the E-way bill system and use it as Transporter Number in the E-way bill system. Once the transporter has obtained a unique common enrolment number, he cannot use any of the Goods and Services Tax Identification Numbers for the purposes of E-way bill generation or updation of Transporter Number in the E-way bills.
E-way bill system will allow 10 days for accepting the old GSTIN and subsequently these GSTIN will be blocked for the transporter number updation. The following points to remember are as follows:
1. Registered Transporters, who have GSTIN in multiple states with same PAN, can use the common enrollment process.
2. Once submission of request with all GSTIN of the registered transporter is done, the system generates the common enrolment number, starting with 88 for this purpose.
3. This enrolment number can be used for the updating the Part-B from any of its branches, throughout the country, without further changing the transporter number.
4. For the common enrolment number, the transporter can create multiple login accounts and share to his/her branches throughout the country for easy updation of the Part-B in the e-way bills.
5. This enrolment number has to be used to generate the e-way bills and updating of the Part-B and the registered transporter numbers, which are GSTIN, are not allowed for generation of e-way bills.
6. This enrolment number has to be communicated to its clients to update this number as transporter number while generating e-way bills.
