Kerala HC: No requirement of E-Way Bill for transportation of Used Personal Vehicle


Quick Summary
The Kerala High Court has ruled that an E-Way bill is not required for the transportation of a used personal vehicle. The court determined that goods classified as used personal effects are exempt from E-Way bill requirements under the Kerala Goods and Services Tax Rules, 2017. This decision was based on a case involving a Range Rover being transported as a personal effect, with the court noting the vehicle had already had IGST paid on its purchase.
