The number of e-way bills generated under the Goods and Service Tax (GST) system rose to a record high of 141.53 million in September, indicating increased movement of goods ahead of the festive season. According to GST Network data, the number of e-way bills rose 7.2% year-on-year in September. Yet, this was the second slowest pace of growth in nearly four years, partly due to a high base. An e-way bill is an electronic GST document that evidences the movement of goods worth more than Rs 50,000.
