UP makes RFID tag must for transporters

With the aim to curb evasion of Goods and Services Tax, the Indian state government has made it mandatory for transport carriers to use radio frequency identification device (RFID) tag along with e-way bill from October 1. Though e-way rules require the use of RFID tag, no other state has made it mandatory since the start of e-way bill in April this year. The e-way bill rules mandate that a vehicle carrying goods worth over Rs 50,000 must furnish details electronically on the common portal and generate e-way bill.
