E way Bill

Dear Sir/Madam

Greetings for the day!

E-Way Bill is an electronic way bill for movement of goods which can be generated on the e-Way Bill Portal which will be effective wef 01/02/2018. Transport of goods of more than Rs 50,000 in value cannot be made by a registered person without an e-way bill.

E-way bill can also 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 the supplier, recipient, and the transporter.

2. When Should e-Way Bill be issued?
E-way bill will be generated when there is a movement of goods of value more than Rs. 50,000 –

In relation to a ‘supply’
For reasons other than a ‘supply’ ( say a return)
Due to inward ‘supply’ from an unregistered person
For this purpose, a supply may be either of the following:

A supply made for a consideration (payment) in the course of business
A supply made for a consideration (payment) which may not be in the course of business
A supply without consideration (without payment)In simpler terms, the term ‘supply’ usually means a:
Sale – sale of goods and payment made
Transfer – branch transfers for instance
Barter/Exchange – where the payment is by goods instead of in money
Therefore, e-Way Bills must be generated on the common portal for all these types of movements.

3. Cases when e-Way bill is Not Required
In the following cases it is not necessary to generate e-Way Bil:

The mode of transport is non-motor vehicle
Goods transported from port, airport, air cargo complex or land customs station to Inland Container Depot (ICD) or Container Freight Station (CFS) for clearance by Customs.
Transport of specified goods (PDF of List of Goods).
Note: Part B of e-Way Bill is not required to be filled where the distance between the consigner or consignee and the transporter is less than 10 Kms and transport is within the same state.

4. Who should Generate an e-Way Bill?
Registered Person – E-way bill must be generated when there is a movement of goods of more than Rs 50,000 in value to or from a Registered Person. A Registered person or the transporter may choose to generate and carry e-way bill even if the value of goods is less than Rs 50,000.
Unregistered Persons – Unregistered persons are also required to generate e-Way Bill. However, where a supply is made by an unregistered person to a registered person, the receiver will have to ensure all the compliances are met as if they were the supplier.
Transporter – Transporters carrying goods by road, air, rail, etc. also need to generate e-Way Bill if the supplier has not generated an e-Way Bill.
