E-WAYBILL Required or not ?

When Should e-Way Bill be issued?

e-Way bill will be generated when there is a movement of goods in a vehicle/ conveyance of value more than Rs. 50,000( either each Invoice or in aggregate of all Invoices in a vehicle/ Conveyance )  –

• In relation to a ‘supply’
• For reasons other than a ‘supply’ ( say a return)
• Due to inward ‘supply’ from an unregistered person

For this purpose, a supply may be either of the following:

• A supply made for a consideration (payment) in the course of business
• A supply made for a consideration (payment) which may not be in the course of business
• A supply without consideration (without payment)In simpler terms,  the term ‘supply’ usually means a:

1. Sale – sale of goods and payment made
2. Transfer – branch transfers for instance
3. Barter/Exchange – where the payment is by goods instead of in money

Therefore, e-Way Bills must be generated on the common portal for all these types of movements.

For certain specified Goods, the e-way bill needs to be generated mandatorily even if the Value of the consignment of Goods is less than Rs. 50,000:

1. Inter-State movement of Goods by the Principal to the Job-worker
2. Inter-State Transport of Handicraft goods by a dealer exempted from GST registration
