GST E Way Bill

Under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system, an E-Way Bill is mandatory for the transportation of goods. A registered taxpayer cannot transport goods in a vehicle if the total value exceeds ₹50,000 (based on a single invoice, bill, or delivery challan) without generating an E-Way Bill on the official portal ewaybillgst.gov.in.

OVERVIEW - GST E Way Bill

Managing the smooth movement of goods within your enterprise while also adhering to compliance regulations can present challenges for your teams. As a finance leader, you may witness your teams encountering various obstacles, such as delays in paperwork and confusion surrounding transportation regulations. This is where the e-Way Bill system under GST simplifies the movement of goods within India’s GST framework. It ensures that every consignment is accurately documented, making the entire process more transparent and efficient. But what exactly is an e-Way Bill, and how does it function?

An e-Way Bill, or Electronic Way Bill, is mandated for the movement of goods under GST regulations. Transporters are required to carry an e-Way Bill when transporting goods across India, provided the value of the consignment exceeds a certain threshold.

Methods for Generating or Cancelling an E Way Bill

E-Way Bills can be generated or cancelled through multiple channels:

  • Online Portal – Directly via the E-Way Bill portal.
  • SMS Facility – Quick generation or cancellation via SMS.
  • Mobile App (Android) – Using the official app.
  • API Integration – Site-to-site integration for automated processing.

Components of an E Way Bill

An E-Way Bill consists of two key parts: Part A and Part B. The person generating the E-Way Bill must provide the following details:

Part A: Key Transaction Details

This section captures essential information about the goods being transported, including:

  • GSTIN of the Recipient – The GST Identification Number of the consignee.
  • Place of Delivery – The PIN code of the destination.
  • Invoice/Challan Details – Invoice or challan number along with the date.
  • Value of Goods – The total value of the consignment.
  • HSN Code – Harmonized System of Nomenclature (HSN) code of the goods.
  • Transport Document Number – Includes Goods Receipt Number, Railway Receipt Number, Airway Bill Number, or Bill of Lading Number.
  • Reason for Transportation – Specifies the purpose, such as supply, return, or job work.

Part B: Transporter Details

This section contains information about the mode of transport, including:

  • Vehicle Number – If goods are transported by road.
  • Transporter ID and Details – Required if a third-party transporter is involved.

When Should an E Way Bill Be Issued?

An E-Way Bill must be generated whenever goods are transported in a vehicle or conveyance and the total value exceeds ₹50,000 (either per invoice or as the total value of all invoices in a single vehicle).

Instances Requiring E-Way Bill Generation:

  1. Movement of goods related to a ‘supply’
  2. Transportation for reasons other than supply (e.g., return of goods)
  3. Inward supply received from an unregistered person

Understanding ‘Supply’ Under GST

For the purpose of E-Way Bill generation, a supply includes:

  • Supply for consideration (payment) as part of business transactions
  • Supply for consideration, even if not in the course of business
  • Supply without consideration (e.g., gifts, free samples, or exchanges)

In simpler terms, a supply can involve:

  • Sale – Selling goods with a corresponding payment
  • Transfer – Movement of goods between branches
  • Barter/Exchange – Trading goods instead of monetary payment

Mandatory E-Way Bill Generation Below ₹50,000

For certain specified goods, an E-Way Bill must be generated even if the consignment value is less than ₹50,000, including:

  • Inter-State movement of goods by the Principal to a Job-Worker (by the Principal or registered Job-Worker)
  • Inter-State transportation of Handicraft goods (by a dealer exempt from GST registration)

Who Should Generate an E-Way Bill?

An E-Way Bill must be generated by different entities involved in the movement of goods, depending on the situation.

  1. Registered Persons
  • A registered person must generate an E-Way Bill when transporting goods valued at more than ₹50,000 (either as consignor or consignee).
  • Even if the goods are worth less than ₹50,000, a registered person or the transporter may still choose to generate an E-Way Bill voluntarily.
  1. Unregistered Persons
  • Unregistered persons must also generate an E-Way Bill when required.
  • If an unregistered person supplies goods to a registered recipient, the recipient must ensure compliance and treat the transaction as if they were the supplier.
  1. Transporters
  • Transporters carrying goods by road, air, rail, or other means must generate an E-Way Bill if the supplier has not done so.
  • However, they are not required to generate an E-Way Bill (via Form EWB-01 or EWB-02) if:
    • Each individual consignment is valued at ₹50,000 or less, but
    • The total value of all consignments in the vehicle exceeds ₹50,000.
  • Unregistered Transporters must first enroll on the E-Way Bill portal to receive a Transporter ID, which allows them to generate E-Way Bills.
