E-way bill Compliance has been a Nightmare for suppliers in the pre-GST era. Supply of goods cannot take place without obtaining these 'waybills' from VAL authorities.  Waybill is nothing but a physical document that allows movement of goods. The Compliance around waybills has caused restricted movement of goods across States.  And this is one anomaly we hope GST will that rectify.

E-way bill

What is an e-way bill? 

  • E-way bill is an electronic way bill for movement of goods which can be generated on the GSTN (common portal).  A 'movement' of goods more than rupees 50000 in value cannot be made by a registered person without an e-way bill. 
  • E-way bill will also be allowed to be generated or cancelled through SMS. 
  • When an e-way bill is generated a unique e-way bill number(EBN)  is allocated and is available to supplier,  recipient,  and the transporter.
