Short answerLog in to the e-way bill portal, enter Part A (invoice, value, GSTINs, HSN) and Part B (the transporter and vehicle number), and generate the bill — you get an EWB number to carry with the goods. It can also be generated through your billing software or the e-invoice system.
When you need one
An e-way bill is required to move goods of value above the threshold (generally ₹50,000) between locations. It has two parts: Part A with the consignment details, and Part B with the vehicle/transport details.
The steps
- Log in to the e-way bill portal (or use your billing/e-invoice software).
- Fill Part A: invoice number and date, value, supplier and recipient GSTINs, HSN, and reason.
- Fill Part B: transporter ID or the vehicle number.
- Generate — you receive a unique EWB number to accompany the goods.
Confirm the current value threshold for your state.
A worked example
Example: you dispatch goods worth ₹2 lakh by truck. You generate the e-way bill with Part A from the invoice and Part B with the lorry number, and hand the EWB number to the driver. If the vehicle changes mid-journey, you update Part B. Moving goods without it risks detention. Our team can set up e-way bill generation in your workflow.
