E-Way Bill under GST
An e-way bill is the electronic pass goods need to move legally by road under GST. A tax officer can demand it at any checkpoint — and if it's missing, expired or wrong, the goods and vehicle can be detained or seized.
For any business that ships goods, it's a daily operational compliance where small errors can strand a truck.
Key features and requirements
- Required when a consignment exceeds ₹50,000 (inter-state; some states set higher intra-state limits)
- Form GST EWB-01 — Part A (consignment) and Part B (transport)
- Validity: 1 day per 200 km for regular cargo (1 day per 20 km for over-dimensional cargo)
- Blocked if GSTR-3B is pending for two consecutive periods
- Penalty: ₹10,000 or the tax sought to be evaded, whichever is higher
