E-way Bill Violation: Invalid Documentation Leads to Penalty Confirmation for Goods Transportation Under GST Regulations

April 19, 2025

Case Laws     GST     HC

HC upheld the penalty order for non-compliance with e-way bill requirements under the Uttar Pradesh GST Act, 2017. The goods were intercepted on 19.01.2023 with invalid e-way bills: one bill was for a different vehicle than declared, and the other had expired prior to transportation. The Court followed precedential rulings establishing that absence of a valid e-way bill creates a rebuttable presumption of tax evasion. The petitioner failed to provide sufficient evidence to rebut this presumption. Consequently, the Court dismissed the petition, affirming the mandatory nature of e-way bill compliance post-01.04.2018 and sustaining the imposed penalty.
