GSTAT says no e-way bill needed for rubber latex transport
In short
GSTAT said rubber latex moved within Kerala from an agriculturist to a registered business does not need an e-way bill if the right delivery challan is there. It said this applies no matter how much the goods are worth.
This matters because it lowers paperwork for that kind of transport. The report does not say whether the ruling changes rules for other goods or other states.
What the reporting says
GSTAT held that rubber latex moved within Kerala from an agriculturist’s premises to a registered business does not require an e-way bill when accompanied by the prescribed delivery challan. The ruling says the exemption applies regardless of the value of the goods, according to the publisher-supplied summary. The immediate consequence is compliance relief for that transport route; the available reporting does not say whether the decision has broader statewide application beyond the case described.
