Who can Generate E Way Bill?

Hi Buddy,

I am associated with a packers and movers company. I know that my company needs an E Way bill for inter-state transfer of goods, also when the cost of an individual consignment is more than Rs. 50000. Hence, today I would love to share with you guys my idea of an E Way bill and who can generate E Way bill?

Let me highlight to you,

A waybill is a receipt or document provided by a carrier that contains information and instructions on the shipment of a consignment of goods, such as the name of the consignor, consignee, point of origin, destination, and route.

Electronic Way Bill (E-Way Bill) is a compliance technique in which the person causing the movement of goods uploads pertinent information via a digital interface prior to the start of the movement of goods and generates an e-way bill on the GST site.

E-way bill is an electronic document that documents the movement of goods and is generated through the GST portal. It comprises two parts;

• Part A 

contains details of the recipient's GSTIN, delivery location (PIN Code), invoice or challan number and date, the value of goods, HSN code, transport document number (Goods Receipt Number or Railway Receipt Number or Airway Bill Number or Bill of Lading Number) and reasons for transportation

• Part B 

contains details of the transporter (Vehicle number)

• Registered Person

E-way bill must be generated when commodities worth more than Rs 50,000 are moved to or from a registered person. Even if the value of the items is less than Rs 50,000, a registered individual or the transporter may choose to generate and carry an E-Way bill

• Unregistered Individuals

must also generate an e-Way Bill. When an unregistered person makes a supply to a registered person, the receiver must verify that all compliances are met as if they were the supplier

• Transporter

Transporters who transport products by road, air, rail, or other means must also generate an e-Way Bill if the supplier has not done so

I hope this makes it clear about your query of who will generate waybill.

The legitimacy of an e-way bill is determined by the distance that the items must travel. The e-way bill will be valid for one day from the relevant date if the distance is less than 100 kilometres. After that, the validity will be extended by one day for every 100 kilometres travelled. The "relevant date" is the date on which the e-way bill was generated, and the validity period is calculated from the moment the e-way bill was generated, with each day being equal to twenty-four hours. In general, the e-way bill's validity cannot be prolonged.

However, the Commissioner may only prolong the validity term for particular kinds of products by issuing a notification, which will be detailed subsequently.

I hereby conclude my answer about E Way bill and who can generate E Way bill. I hope this satisfies your query:)
