E-way Bill Calculator India 2026

Q: When is an e-way bill required in India?

An e-way bill is required when: (1) Interstate movement of goods where consignment value exceeds ₹50,000. (2) Intrastate movement of goods where value exceeds the state-specific threshold (₹50,000 for most states; ₹1,00,000 for Delhi and Rajasthan). Some goods like alcohol, petroleum, and agricultural produce moved directly from farms are exempt regardless of value.

Q: How is e-way bill validity calculated?

E-way bill validity depends on distance and vehicle type. For normal cargo: up to 100 km = 1 day, 100–300 km = 3 days, 300–500 km = 5 days, 500–1000 km = 10 days, above 1000 km = 15 days. For Over-Dimensional Cargo (ODC): up to 20 km = 1 day, 20–100 km = 3 days, 100–300 km = 5 days, 300–500 km = 10 days, above 500 km = 15 days. Validity starts from midnight of the generation date.

Q: Can an e-way bill be extended?

No, e-way bills cannot be extended once generated. Once the validity expires, the goods cannot be moved further. You must generate a new e-way bill if goods are still in transit after expiry. Plan your logistics to ensure goods reach their destination before the e-way bill expires.

Q: Who can generate an e-way bill?

Any GST-registered person can generate an e-way bill: the supplier (before dispatching goods), the recipient (if goods arrive), or the transporter (if authorised). The supplier typically generates it as they have all consignment details. An unregistered transporter must enrol on the e-way bill portal to generate Part B (vehicle details).

Q: What is the penalty for not having an e-way bill?

For not having a valid e-way bill: Fine up to ₹10,000 or the amount of tax involved, whichever is higher. Additionally, the goods and the conveyance can be detained until the e-way bill is produced or penalty is paid. Repeated non-compliance can result in prosecution under the CGST Act, 2017.
