Procedure to enter information in ‘m-way bill’ :For registered persons who do not have the facility of computer, a system called ‘m-way bill’ is put in place for enabling the registered persons to upload the details of goods to be transported into the department’s website through their own mobile phones. ‘m-way bill’ is a method for getting the ‘e-way bill’ number for arrival and movement of goods through SMS from their own mobile phone number. For using the ‘m-way bill’ service the registered person has to write to the jurisdictional Local Goods and Service Tax Officer or Goods and Services Tax Sub-Officer concerned using his existing ‘username’ and ‘password’ and register two mobile numbers for ‘e-way bill’:

He has to note down the commodity codes corresponding to the commodity added or saved and then mention the relevant commodity code numbers in the ‘m-way bill’ for the purpose of sending the SMS for generating ‘m-way bill’ number.
  • There are eight parameters used for sending the information through SMS to a designated mobile telephone No. 9731978899.Once the information sent reaches the department’s server, the system will validate the details of information and generates ‘m-way billnumber’ and return it back to the sender for being used by the sender for enabling its use during movement of goods. The number so generated may be passed on to the transporter for issuing it at the check-post or at the point of interception of the goods vehicle by the officers of the department. The SMS format for sending the information of the details of goods to be transported for getting the ‘m-way bill’ number generated is as under:

KWR [Space] (Write Type of Transaction) [Space] (Write Type of Category of Transaction) [Space] OTHER PARTY GSTIN [Space] INVOICE NUMBER [Space] TAXABLE VALUE [Space] TAX AMOUNT [Space] COMMODITY CODE [Space] OTHER PARTY LOCATION

  2. It will validate the correct key word — KSR for Karnataka ‘e-way bill’.
