e-Way Bill Registration: How to Register on the e-Way Bill Portal

Introduction

An e-Way Bill is an important document required under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system for the movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000. It acts as proof that the goods being transported are compliant with GST regulations and are being moved legally.

The e-Way Bill must be generated online through the official portal and carried during the transportation of goods.

When Is e-Way Bill Registration Mandatory for Unregistered Transporters?

An unregistered transporter must comply with e-Way Bill rules when the value of goods being transported crosses the prescribed limit under GST regulations.

e-Way Bill Requirement for Unregistered Transporters

An unregistered transporter is required to generate an e-Way Bill if:

The consignment value of goods from a single supplier exceeds ₹50,000, OR
The total value of goods carried in a vehicle exceeds ₹50,000, regardless of the number of suppliers

What is a Transporter ID? GUIDE.

A Transporter ID is a unique identification number issued to unregistered transporters under the e-Way Bill system. It is used when the transporter does not have a GSTIN but is still required to generate e-Way Bills.

What to Do When Goods Are Received from an Unregistered Supplier

When a registered buyer receives goods from an unregistered supplier, special compliance rules under GST apply for e-Way Bill generation.

Responsibility of the Registered Receiver

In such cases, the registered recipient is responsible for generating the e-Way Bill, as if they are the supplier of the goods.

This means:

The registered buyer must create the e-Way Bill
The buyer is treated as the deemed supplier for compliance purposes
All e-Way Bill rules must be followed by the receiver
