CAG flags mismatch between e-way bills and tax payments

To strengthen the E-Way Bill (EWB) system under the goods and services tax regime, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) has asked the revenue authorities to identify the taxpayers generating high value EWBs but not discharging tax liability and reporting such taxpayers for scrutiny.

Alert the Composition Levy Scheme (CLS) taxpayer, as well as the departmental officer, about crossing of the threshold limit and for generating EWB for inter-State supply, according to the CAG’s audit report on E-Way Bill System presented in Parliament on Tuesday.
