03 August 2025 Here’s a clear overview about way bills under GST based on your queries:
Is there a way bill concept in GST like VAT?
Yes, GST has introduced the E-Way Bill (Electronic Way Bill) system to track the movement of goods.
The e-way bill is a digital document generated online whenever goods worth more than ₹50,000 are transported interstate or intrastate.
This system replaces the physical way bill used under VAT.
How does E-Way Bill work?
Who generates the e-way bill?
Usually, the supplier, recipient, or transporter can generate the e-way bill before the movement of goods starts.
What info is required?
Details like invoice number, value, GSTIN of supplier and recipient, HSN code of goods, vehicle number, etc.
Validity:
E-way bill is valid for a certain distance and period depending on the mode of transport and distance.
For your example:
You are buying instruments from Gujarat and located in West Bengal.
Since it’s an interstate purchase, and if the value exceeds ₹50,000, an e-way bill is mandatory.
Who generates the e-way bill?
Either the supplier in Gujarat or the recipient (you in WB) or your transporter can generate it.
You don’t send a physical way bill to the supplier; it’s an electronic document.
You can generate the e-way bill on the official GST portal: https://ewaybillgst.gov.in
Is it applicable now?
E-way bill system was initially deferred but is now fully implemented across India (since 2018).
States like West Bengal, Gujarat, and others follow this system.
