What is an E-way Bill?
An E-way Bill (Electronic Way Bill) is an electronic document generated on the GST E-way Bill Portal before the commencement of movement of goods worth ₹50,000 or more. It is mandatory under Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, 2017 for movement of taxable goods across India — whether inter-state or intra-state (state rules vary).
The E-way Bill contains details of the goods being transported, the supplier, recipient, and transporter. It must be carried (physically or electronically) during the movement of goods and verified by GST officers at check posts.
Why is E-way Bill Important?
E-way Bill is GST's mechanism to track inter and intra-state movement of goods and prevent tax evasion. Without a valid E-way Bill, your goods can be detained, seized, and you face heavy penalties — up to 200% of the tax value. TaxClue ensures you're always compliant.
Who is Required to Generate an E-way Bill?
Registered Supplier
Primary responsibility. Must generate E-way Bill when goods worth ₹50,000+ are being supplied from their place of business.
Registered Recipient
If the supplier is unregistered, the registered recipient must generate the E-way Bill before goods movement begins.
Transporter
If neither supplier nor recipient generates it, the transporter is responsible — required to enrol on EWB portal with Transporter ID (TRANSIN).
E-commerce Operators
E-commerce companies facilitating supply must generate E-way Bills for goods being shipped through their platform.
Job Workers
Movement of goods to job workers for processing (even without sale) requires an E-way Bill if value exceeds ₹50,000.
Unregistered Suppliers
Unregistered persons can also generate E-way Bills when supplying to registered recipients.

How to Generate an E-way Bill — Step by Step
E-way Bills are generated on the official portal ewaybillgst.gov.in. Here's the complete process:
Register on E-way Bill Portal
Visit ewaybillgst.gov.in → Click "Registration" → Enter your GSTIN → Your registered mobile receives OTP → Set username and password. TaxClue completes this registration for you instantly.
Login & Select "Generate New EWB"
Under the E-way Bill menu, select "Generate New". The system will auto-fill supplier/recipient details based on GSTIN.
Fill Part A — Goods & Transaction Details
Enter invoice details, HSN code, goods value, reason for transport, and recipient's GSTIN or address. Double check HSN code — wrong codes cause rejection at check posts.
Fill Part B — Vehicle / Transport Details
Enter vehicle number or transporter ID. If goods are being handed to a transporter, they fill Part B. Part B is mandatory for road transport; for others, the document number (LR/RR/Airway Bill) is used.
Submit & Get E-way Bill Number (EBN)
On successful submission, a unique 12-digit E-way Bill Number (EBN) is generated. Download or print the EWB — it must accompany the goods during transport.
Share with Transporter & Recipient
The EWB number or printed copy must be given to the transporter. The recipient gets the EWB number to verify and accept/reject the goods upon delivery.
