An e-Way Bill is a digital document introduced under the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) framework to track the movement of goods in
transit. It is required for any GST-registered person transporting
goods valued over ₹50,000 and must be generated on the GST portal
to comply with regulatory requirements.
The E-Way Bill is a mandatory electronic document required for the
inter-state and intra-state movement of goods valued at over INR
50,000 within India. It is generated via the GST portal prior to
the commencement of transportation.
Introduced under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework, the
e-way Bill system aims to facilitate seamless transportation of
goods across state borders.
This digital document includes crucial details such as the names
of the consignor and consignee, origin and destination locations,
invoice or delivery challan numbers, quantity, value of goods
transported, and vehicle specifics.
Registered taxpayers, transporters, and unregistered individuals
can generate an e-way Bill using the GST portal, SMS, or mobile
application.
The validity period of an e-way Bill is determined based on the
distance between the point of origin and the destination of the
goods transportation.
Note
Updates to an e-Way Bill can be made as long as it remains valid.
Modifications can include details concerning the transporter,
consignment, consignor, and GSTIN of both parties involved in the
transaction.
