GSTN again defers e-Way Bill changes ahead of 1 August rollout

GSTN again defers e-Way Bill changes ahead of 1 August rollout The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has again deferred changes to the e-Way Bill system, giving businesses, transporters and GST software providers a reprieve just days before they were due to come into effect on 1 August. In an advisory issued on Wednesday, GSTN said the proposed enhancements, announced through advisories on 9 June and 17 June, have been “kept on hold until further notice.” The latest postponement extends a series of delays. The changes were originally slated for implementation on 15 June, then pushed back to 1 August, and have now been deferred indefinitely. The proposed changes were intended to tighten compliance and improve the traceability of goods movement through additional validations in the e-Way Bill system. They would also have required businesses and GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs) to modify their enterprise resource planning (ERP) and GST software ahead of the deadline. Among the key changes was a proposal to make the Ship-To GSTIN field mandatory in Bill-to/Ship-to transactions. Taxpayers would have been required to capture the GSTIN of the actual consignee, while entering URP (Unregistered Person) where the consignee was not registered under GST. GSTN had also proposed a voluntary closure facility, allowing taxpayers to close an active e-Way Bill if goods were ultimately not dispatched, an order was cancelled or the movement did not take place.

No action against CJP protesters: Delhi government

No action against CJP protesters: Delhi government The Home Department of the Delhi government on Thursday (July 30, 2026) issued an order that no adverse legal action will be taken against people involved in the protests against the NEET-UG paper leak issue. “The protection, however, shall not extend to persons having criminal antecedents, as mandated in the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court mentioned above,” it said, citing a verdict dated July 28. Also read | Centre’s assurance cannot override statutory processes governing withdrawal of FIRs, experts say If anyone has been arrested or detained in cases related to the protests, the process for reviewing the arrests and releasing the arrested persons will be undertaken “expeditiously”, as per the order. “Government of NCT of Delhi does not propose to take any further adverse action against the individuals involved in the protests, and the matter shall be treated as closed without any future proceedings on this account,” the order said. However, Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood clarified in a statement that this relief will not apply to individuals who already have criminal cases registered against them or those who indulged in violence, vandalism, or any other unlawful activities under the guise of the protest. “Such persons will face action strictly in accordance with the law. The government fully respects the democratic right to peaceful expression, but no leniency will be shown towards those who disrupt law and order or engage in violent activities,” Mr. The CJP had said that the government’s agreement was to withdraw cases against “all protesters” and not take any action against them in the future in relation to the protests. On Saturday (July 25, 2026), the CJP called off its 36-day protest after the Central government agreed to its three main demands,…

Kerala High Court seeks response of CBI and State govt. in plea against cashew import scam accused

Kerala High Court seeks response of CBI and State govt. in plea against cashew import scam accused The Kerala High Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the State government to respond to the allegations raised by K.M. Shajahan, former Additional Private Secretary to the late former Chief Minister, V.S. Ratheesh, former managing director of the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation and one of the accused in the ₹600-crore cashew import scam. Shajahan, through a petition, had alleged that appointing a person who was chargesheeted by the CBI, and for whom prosecution sanction was granted in a major corruption case, to key posts in the government violated the established norms of public integrity and transparency. He sought directions to the Vigilance Director and CBI Superintendent to dispose of his representations against the continued occupation of Mr. Ratheesh in key official posts and to direct the State to ensure that he is not appointed in important government posts, considering the ongoing corruption case against him. Posts currently held Justice A Badharudeen noted that Mr. Ratheesh currently holds the positions of Secretary, Kerala Khadi and Village Industries Board; Managing Director, RUTRONIX (Kerala State Rural Women’s Electronics Industrial Co-operative Federation Ltd); and Chief Executive Officer, Kerala Khadi Workers’ Welfare Fund Board.
