Alankit launches e-Raahi for e-way bill generation

Alankit Limited has launched e-Raahi, a simple and cost-effective mobile application and desktop software for generation of e-way bills at just the click of a button. This application is available on Google playstore and is compatible with Android, whereas the iOS version is under process and will be out soon. As part of its unique features, e-Raahi allows users to generate, edit and share e-way bills via SMS, WhatsApp and email. The format of the bill is print-ready in case the user needs a hard copy for any purpose. Integrated with Alankit’s comprehensive back-end mechanism, the application and software also allow user to prepare a consolidated invoice report for filing of GST in place of maintaining multiple bill entries in an Excel format.

Introduction of e-way bill is being seen as a progressive step in the field of logistics and transportation in India. Some advantages like less documentation, reduction in tax avoidance, efficient transportation, limited / no waiting time at checkposts are already being acknowledged by the industry. Yet, these benefits would only come alive on back of efficient digital solutions like Alankit e-Raahi application. Soon, e-Raahi will be integrated with Alankit GST Muneemji (cloud-based compliance software), eliminating the need for uploading transaction details.

Currently, the introductory pricing is Rs.1,000 for first 1,000 bills. Alankit is also offering competitively priced packages for generating more than 1,000 bills.

Any entity/individual who has to transfer goods from one state to another is entitled to create an E-way Bill and will eventually be the Target Market.

Speaking about the app, Ankit Agarwal, Managing Director, Alankit Ltd, said, “As per the Goods and Service Tax Network, there is capacity to generate up to 70 lakh e-way bills every day. Currently, only 18% of the capacity is utilized. E-Raahi is geared towards increased utilization, by making transferring of goods a smooth process across India. With a nationwide network and a strong backbone of innovative GST services, Alankit is committed to Digital transformation in India by creating a favourable environment for effective technology implementation with automating various processes of Invoice Creation, E-Way Bill Generation, Return Filing and integrating all these to create a more seamless compliance environment. E-Raahi aims at promoting digitization, solve transit time issues, and aid the Government in ushering the antiquated transport industry into the GST framework.”

In addition to e-Raahi, Alankit has recently launched the Akankit chatbot, an easy, comprehensive means to resolve repetitive queries. The chatbot resolves 400-500 queries daily and has a smart self-learning mechanism that gain insight from the new patterns/ queries. Questions like ‘What is GST?’ and ‘How do I file my returns?’ are resolved instantly.
