When your company's staff delivers material to a customer with a value exceeding Rs. 50,000 and the mode of transport is by train, you will need to follow specific guidelines for generating an E-way bill in India. Here’s how you should proceed:
### Steps to Create E-way Bill for Material Delivered by Company Employee via Train:
1. **Login to E-way Bill Portal**: - Access the E-way Bill portal (https://ewaybillgst.gov.in/) using your credentials.
2. **Initiate E-way Bill Generation**: - Navigate to the "Generate E-way Bill" section on the portal.
3. **Enter Details**: - **Transaction Type**: Choose "Outward" if your company is the supplier delivering goods to the customer. - **Document Type**: Select the relevant document type based on your transaction (e.g., Invoice, Bill of Supply). - **Document Number and Date**: Enter the invoice or document number and its date. - **Goods Details**: Provide details such as HSN code, description of goods, quantity, and value. - **Transportation Details**: - **Mode of Transport**: Select "Rail" as the mode of transport since the goods are being transported by train. - **Transporter ID**: If applicable, enter the transporter ID or details. Since your company’s staff is delivering the goods, you may need to enter the employee details or choose the option indicating self-transport. - **Vehicle Number**: If known, enter the train number or details related to the transport.
4. **Enter Delivery Address**: - Provide the delivery address where the goods are being delivered to the customer.
5. **Generate and Validate**: - After entering all required details, validate the information provided. - If all details are correct, proceed to generate the E-way bill.
6. **E-way Bill Number (EBN)**: - Once generated successfully, the system will assign an E-way Bill Number (EBN) and a QR code.
7. **Print or Save**: - Print or save the generated E-way bill for your records and for presentation during transit if required by authorities.
### Key Points to Remember:
- Ensure that the information entered in the E-way bill matches the details on the invoice or relevant document. - The mode of transport should accurately reflect the method by which the goods are being transported (in this case, "Rail" for train transport). - If your company's staff is delivering the goods, ensure that all necessary employee identification or self-transport options are correctly chosen.
By following these steps and guidelines, you can create an E-way bill compliantly for material deliveries where the mode of transport is by train and the value exceeds Rs. 50,000. For specific queries or further assistance, it’s advisable to consult with a GST practitioner or visit the official E-way Bill portal for updated guidelines.
