How to generate E Way Bill on GST Portal in 5 easy steps?

E Way Bill is an electronically generated document issued for transportation of goods by vehicles. A registered person is not permitted to transport goods without an E-way Bill from one place to another if the value of the goods exceeds ₹50000 or in some special cases where the supply is inter-state i.e., transport of goods from one state to another.

Each E-Way Bill consists of a unique number known as EBN (E-Way Bill Number) which is available to the buyer, seller, and also the transporter.

An E-Way Bill generally has two parts; Part A and Part B. Part A is to be filled by the supplier and Part B by the transporter. However, it is a common business practice to fill both the parts by the supplier himself.

E Way Bill generation can be done through various modes like online, SMS, Android App, and API-based integration. It can be generated from<a href="http://www.ewaybillgst.gov.in/"><u> www.ewaybillgst.gov.in</u></a>.
