Features of E-way Bill Mechanism under GST Regime

  • Common Portal for E-Way Bill is http://ewaybill.nic.in
  • E-Way bill is complete only when Part-B is entered. Part-B is a must for the Eway bill for movement purpose. Otherwise printout of EWB says it is invalid for movement of goods
  • The validity of the e-way bill starts when first entry is made in Part-B. That is, vehicle entry is made first time in case of road transportation or first transport document number entry in case of rail/air/ship transportation, whichever is the first entry. It may be noted that validity is not re-calculated for subsequent entries in Part-B.
  • One e-way bill can go through multiple modes of transportation before reaching the destination. As per the mode of transportation, the EWB can be updated with new mode of transportation by using ‘Update Vehicle Number’.
  • There is a chance that consignee or recipient may reject to take the delivery of consignment due to various reasons. Under such circumstance, the transporter can get one more e-way bill generated with the help of supplier or recipient by indicating supply as ‘Sales Return’ and with relevant document details and return the goods to supplier as per his agreement with him.
  • “Bill to” and “Ship to” Cases
    • Two E-way Bills to be issued
  • TRNSIN OR Transport ID
    • TRANSIN is 15 digits unique number generated by EWB system for unregistered transporter once he enrolls on the system.
