Distance (even below 1 km or 500 meters) DOES NOT exempt you from generating an e-way bill.
Always generate:
-
E-way bill if value > ₹50,000, regardless of distance
-
Even for 500 meters movement

The goods movement was within 500 meters and duly supported by valid tax invoices with GST discharged. Non-generation of e-way bill was due to a bonafide belief regarding short-distance exemption and without any intention to evade tax. We request lenient view and waiver of penalty.
