Frequently Asked Questions
For interstate movement, e-way bill is required if consignment value exceeds ₹50,000. For intrastate movement, threshold varies by state: Most states = ₹50,000, Delhi & Rajasthan = ₹1,00,000. However, for certain exempted goods (like alcohol, petroleum), e-way bill may not be required even if value exceeds threshold.
If goods are still in transit after e-way bill expires, you cannot move them further. You must generate a new e-way bill to continue movement. The original e-way bill cannot be extended. Plan your route to ensure goods reach destination before expiry.
No, e-way bills cannot be extended. Once validity expires, you must generate a new e-way bill if goods are still in transit. Plan your logistics accordingly to avoid delays and need for multiple e-way bills.
Any GST-registered person can generate the e-way bill: supplier (before dispatching goods), recipient (if goods reach), or transporter (if authorized). However, supplier typically generates it as they have consignment details. Once generated, all parties can view the e-way bill using the unique bill number.
