Overview
The e-Way Bill is an electronic way bill for movement of goods, which is required to be generated under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India. It serves as proof of the transportation of goods and is mandatory for consignments valued over INR 50,000.
The E-way bill is generated by the supplier, recipient, or the transporter of the goods.The e-Way Bill is an important tool for the government to monitor the movement of goods and prevent tax evasion, as it allows for real-time tracking of the consignment and helps to ensure that the correct tax is paid on the supplies.
The e-Way Bill is generated using the GST common portal, and must be carried by the person transporting the goods.
The e-Way Bill remains valid for a period of one to fifteen days, depending on the distance travelled, and must be carried by the transporter at all times during the movement of goods.
