GST E-Way Bill

An e-way bill is required before transporting goods whose consignment value exceeds ₹50,000 for interstate movement, under Section 68 and Rule 138. Several states set their own threshold for intrastate movement, sometimes ₹1 lakh or more. We confirm the limit that applies to your route.

Part A of Form EWB-01 captures the invoice and goods details, while Part B captures the vehicle or transporter information. The e-way bill's validity period begins only once Part B is filled, so both must be completed correctly before the goods move.

Validity is distance-based — broadly one day for every 200 km for regular cargo, with longer durations for over-dimensional cargo. It runs from the time Part B is entered, and can be extended shortly before expiry if the goods are delayed.

E-Way Bill 2.0 is the upgraded portal that now runs in parallel with the original system to provide continuity and faster service even during outages. We operate on both so your e-way bills are never held up by a single-portal failure.

Moving goods without a valid e-way bill can attract a penalty under Section 129 — typically ₹10,000 or the tax sought to be evaded, whichever is higher — along with detention of the goods and vehicle. We respond to such detention and contest unjustified penalties.

From January 2025, an e-way bill can only be generated against documents dated within 180 days. Older documents are not eligible, which is why timely generation matters. We build a workflow that raises e-way bills as soon as the invoice is issued.
