e-Way Bill

E-Way Bill

The Government of India launched the e-Way Bill system in February 2018. While the first effort to implement the new tax-collecting mechanism was unsuccessful, the second attempt in April 2018 performed significantly better.

Key Points:

  • E-way bill is a document issued under GST that must be created before carrying or delivering products valued more than Rs 50,000 within a state or interstate.

  • It’s a unique bill number for a particular shipment.

  • An e-way bill has two parts: Part A, to be filled out by the person moving goods worth more than Rs.50,000, and Part B, to be filled out by the person conveying the items.

By the end of May 2018, the GST e-Way Bill system has been effectively deployed in 21 states and six Union Territories for the inter-state movement of goods.
