This discussion clarifies whether an e-way bill is required when transferring goods to another firm located in the same building, especially when no motorised transport is involved. According to GST rules, an e-way bill is generally not needed if the goods are not moved by a motorised vehicle or if the movement occurs within specific notified areas. The provided exemptions under Rule 138(14) of the CGST Rules support this, indicating that no e-way bill is necessary in such scenarios.

No e-way bill is required to be generated in following cases [rule 138(14) of CGST Rules]. (a) The goods being transported are specified in Division Two. (b) The goods are being transported by a non-motorised con- veyance. (c) The goods are being transported from the port, airport, air cargo, complex and land customs station to an inland con- tainer depot or a container freight station for clearance by Customs; and (d) In respect of movement of goods within such areas as are notified under rule 138(14)(d) of the GST Rules of the con- cerned State. Thus, each State has been delegated powers to grant exemptions from provisions relating to e-way bill.
Here no motorised vehicle is used for transport and no transport involved.
