If material despatched by rail we can't get E way bill without part B, Railway receipt will be get after booking, but eway bill portal auto populated shown on please enter RR No. when enter submitted pls explain how to generate e way bill
Generally for the goods to be transported by rail, it has to be moved to the railway station using road transport. For that, an E-way bill would have been already generated and hence only the Part B needs to be updated with RR number for the rail transport. So an E-way bill for railways is complete and can be generated only after obtaining the RR number hence the concerned person/agent/supplier is responsible for getting this information.
For the goods transported through rail, Part B of the E-way bill can be updated either before or after the commencement of movement. But the railways will not deliver the goods unless the e-way bill as required is produced at the time of delivery. Indian Railways has been exempted from generation and carrying of an e-way bill but it is required to carry invoice or delivery challan etc.
