Under the new taxation system in India, E-way Billing is an electronic way of bill, which must be generated for every movement of goods, for which the value of goods is more than 50,000 INR and distance beyond 10 KMS. E-way billing system will be implemented nationwide for inter-State movement of goods on a compulsory basis and be effective from 1st February, 2018.

The E-way bill has to be be generated by the consignor (i.e, seller) or the recipient (i.e, buyer) who is moving the goods with transportation which is hired or in-house or any other medium of transportation (i.e, Airways/Waterways/Railways).

Note: In case of an unregistered person moving the goods to registered person, it is the responsibility of the transporter to generate the E-way bill and fill Transporter ID (Unique number generated while registering)

• The E-way bill has to be generated when,
• Supplies are made(i.e, Sales)
• Transfer of goods(i.e, Branch transfer within Organization)
