An introduction to e-way bill; A game changer of the Indian economic system

India, being a fast developing nation, faces the problem of tax evasion in the significant areas of the economy. A new digital reform as part of the Goods and Services Tax implementation in India, named as E-Way bill, has surely become a game-changer in this matter recently. If the states in India could implement it successfully, that would surely have a positive impact on the economic system as the concept of Goods and Service Tax and the Goods and Service Tax Network(GSTN) becomes more transparent and the new digitalization technique renders a number of benefits to the parties involved and protects the interest of the Government. This paper is a conceptual study on the E-Way bill system introduced in India and is done on the basis of secondary data collected from various websites. This study attempts to understand the very purpose behind such a digital movement and how this would transform the logistics industry of the country. The study also focuses on the importance of the system and its current state of operation. The study gives due importance to the analysis of e-way bill system with special reference to the case of Uttar Pradesh. The study found that the mechanism of E-Way bill is an excellent step taken by the Government of India to facilitate transportation of goods, both inter-state and intra-state, avoiding completely the scope for tax evasion. The e-way bill system, to a great extent, renders transparency in the transit of goods and changes the image of the country at large by transforming the methods of verifying and validating the authenticity of the transactions. It had proven that the corruption reduces as the human intervention is eliminated. If implemented properly, e-way bills would have the potential to re-structure the entire logistics industry and bring a revolution in the transportation of goods throughout the country.
