1.0 Introduction

With GST making everything user-friendly and available online it has become easy for users to access it. Of course, it will take us some time to understand GST portal completely, yet earlier the compliances were a nightmare for suppliers especially transporting the goods.

Earlier the documentation was different for each state since VAT laws was applicable and further it was not only difficult but time-consuming as well. Now with everything being available on the GST common portal it has become so easy for everyone to manage and file taxes.

 

2.0 Understanding E- way bill – What it is?

Way-bill is a document required by suppliers for movement of goods. For anyone sending goods of value more than Rs.50,000 (Rs.5000/- in UP) from one state to another, it is mandatory to get generate this bill and to keep it along with transportation of goods.

Otherwise, if the government caught you on the road without proper documentation, then your goods are liable for penalties and confiscation.

#Common goods No.1 - Dairy products – Milk and cream
 

Dairy products are a necessity of every household. It is a daily requirement of our nutrition. Since, we require them daily, movement of these goods also happens on a daily basis. Hence, adding them in the list is probably a very good decision by the government. The following products are included:

 

 

 

# Common goods No.2 – Fresh and Chilled Vegetables

After milk the second basic requirement of every house is vegetables. Without movement of these, we will not be able to survive. Every state is interdependent upon each and other and hence movement of vegetables is imperative.

Every morning we can see the harvest truck travelling and droping supplies at different store hence bread as well travels every day and is important for us all. It is cleverly added to this list. Brown, wheat, whole wheat and all type of breads are included except pizza bread.

 

#Common goods No.4 –  Human blood and its components

I believe the heading itself explains the importance. There no questioning of why it has been added in this list. Any kind of medical emergency can happen anywhere anytime and human blood can save lives in that case.

Kumkum, bindi, and sindoor are the basic necessity of every Hindu bride. They are the prized possession and pride of women. Not a single day can pass without these items for any lady. The government keeping sentiments in mind has included this in the list. The rest of the objects are-

 

 

#Common goods No.6 –  Condoms and contraceptives

With India being the 2nd most populated country its safe to say that this is a good decision taken by the government. Condoms and contraceptives plays an important role in society.

It is the source of cooking food in many homes. Liquefied petroleum gas or LPG is used for cooking in households. It is only because of these gases that many stoves light every day.

 

 

#Common goods No.10 - USED PERSONAL AND HOUSEHOLD EFFECTS

Last but not the least; this is the most important for all of us. It is a relief for everyone who just got transferred, retired or is moving to another state because shifting a house is also movement of goods.

Our government has included this in the list and saved a lot of time of yours.
