GSTN Extends Ship-To GSTIN and E-Way Bill Closure Implementation to 1 August 2026
GST Advisory has been issued on GSTN Extends Ship-To GSTIN and E-Way Bill Closure Implementation to 1 August 2026.GSTN has extended the implementation date for two important E-Way Bill system changes from 15th June 2026 to 1st August 2026. These changes are:
(i) mandatory mention of the “Ship To GSTIN” in Bill-To/Ship-To transactions, and
(ii) the facility for voluntary closure of an E-Way Bill.
The extension has been granted because businesses, ERP software providers, and GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs) requested additional time to make necessary system modifications, update master data, test integrations, and ensure smooth implementation
Accordingly, taxpayers can continue to follow the existing process up to 31st July 2026, and should utilize this additional time to update their accounting, billing, and ERP systems so that they are fully prepared for the new requirements from 1st August 2026 onwards.
