    If i generate an invoice containing both nil rated and taxable goods, should eway bill be generated only for the taxable part or for the whole conignment?

  2. krishna says:

    In a hired vehicle we are transporting goods to 20 consignees whose value of individual invoices is less than 50000/- but when we combine total value of the 20 invoices they will cross more than 50000/-. in such an instance should we take e way bills for all invoices irrespective of value of invoice. please clarify.

    Refer point 5(A) of your article. Could you please provide the related section/rule which provides for no requirement of Eway bill for less than 10Km distance. Rules only exempt requirement of mentioning details of conveyance in E-way bill in my view.
