Common questions
- When is an e-way bill required?
- For movement of goods of consignment value exceeding ₹50,000 (₹1,00,000 in some states for intra-state). Both inter-state and intra-state movements need EWB; thresholds for intra-state vary by state.
- How long is an e-way bill valid?
- For normal cargo: 1 day per 200 km (or part thereof). For Over-Dimensional Cargo: 1 day per 20 km. Validity can be extended within 8 hours of expiry if the goods couldn't reach the destination due to circumstances beyond control.
- What's the difference between Part A and Part B of an EWB?
- Part A contains invoice details (GSTIN, value, HSN). Part B contains transporter details (vehicle number, transport mode). EWB is incomplete without Part B, except for transport within 50 km by the registered consignor/consignee.
- Can an e-way bill be cancelled?
- Yes, within 24 hours of generation if the goods were not transported or the details are wrong. After 24 hours it cannot be cancelled, but the recipient can reject it within 72 hours.
- Is an e-way bill needed for goods below ₹50,000?
- Usually no, but it is mandatory regardless of value for inter-state movement of handicraft goods and for inter-state movement of goods for job work by a principal.
