What is E-Way Bill Registration?
An E-Way Bill (Electronic Way Bill) is a mandatory document required for the movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000 within or outside a state. It is generated on the E-Way Bill Portal and serves as evidence that the goods being transported comply with GST laws.
Registration on the E-Way Bill portal is the first step to generating these bills. It links your GSTIN to the E-Way Bill system, allowing you to create, manage, and cancel bills online.
Who Needs to Register?
Registration is mandatory for:
- Registered Suppliers: Any GST-registered person causing the movement of goods exceeding ₹50,000 in value.
- Registered Transporters: Transporters registered under GST who need to generate E-Way Bills on behalf of suppliers or recipients.
- Unregistered Transporters: Transporters not registered under GST must enroll to get a Transporter ID (TRANSIN) to generate E-Way Bills.
- Unregistered Persons: If an unregistered person supplies goods to a registered person, the registered recipient must ensure compliance.
