E-Way Bill under GST: When It Is Required & How to Generate
An e-way bill is an electronic document required for moving goods worth more than ₹50,000 within or between states. It links the consignment to GST and is checked in transit.
When Is It Required?
- Inter-state or intra-state movement of goods above ₹50,000.
- Both supply and non-supply movements (job work, returns, transfers).
How to Generate It
Generate it on the e-way bill portal (or via GSTN-integrated software) using the invoice details, transporter ID, and vehicle number. A unique EBN (e-way bill number) is issued.
Validity & Penalties
Validity depends on distance (typically one day per 200 km). Moving goods without a valid e-way bill can lead to detention, penalties, and seizure of goods and vehicle.
Statura sets up GST-compliant logistics and e-way bill processes for businesses moving goods across India.
