E-Way Bill Generation in GST e-Way Bill Portal in India - Step by Step Guidelines

E-WAY BILL ONLINE GENERATION STEP BY STEP GUIDELINES

The Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 came into force in India with effect from 1.7.2017.

In the earlier tax regime movement of goods from one place to another were made through a bill of sale or delivery note or way bill or any other documents prescribed by the respective State Governments.  But there are some practical difficulties such as some states need their state’s prescribed type of documents and the transporters have to prepare the same before reaching the border check posts.  After introduction of GST in India all check posts were abolished with effect from 1.7.2017.

In the GST regime, instead of bill of sale or delivery note or way bills, a new document called Electronic Way Bill i.e. e-Way Bill is prescribed which is to be generated online in the GST e-Way Bill Portal for movement of goods from one place to another and such e-Way Bill comes into force with effect from 1^st February 2018 for inter-State transactions and for the transactions within the State at a later date to be prescribed by the respective State Governments.

The Goods and Services Tax Act 2017 introduced with the slogan “One Nation. One Tax. One Market”.

Now the e-Way bill is introduced with the slogan “One Nation. One e-Way Bill”.  Thus it is clear that one e-Way Bill is enough for movement of goods throughout the country.

Electronic Way Bill is now introduced with effect from 1.2.2018 in India and for the purpose of generation of electronic way bill the Government has launched a portal with effect from 16.1.2018 and notified www.ewaybillgst.gov.in as the Common Goods and Services Tax Electronic portal for furnishing electronic way bill. The GST e-Way Bill portal may be logged in by entering the above address www.ewaybillgst.gov.in or by clicking the link e-Way Bill System available in the Menu Bar of GST Common Portal.

Under Section 68 of the Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017 read with rule 138 of the rules framed thereunder, every registered person who causes movement of goods or consignment value exceeding fifty thousand rupees (i) in relation to supply; or (ii) for reasons other than supply; or (iii) due to inward supply from an unregistered person, shall furnish information prior to commencement of movement of goods and generate e-way bill electronically in GST E-Way Bill Portal.

The following 154 goods mentioned in the annexure were exempted from generation e-way bill in the GST portal.

E-way bill is a document required to be carried by person in charge of the conveyance carrying any consignment of goods of value exceeding fifty thousand rupees.

The e-way bill has to be generated only in GST e-Way Bill Portal.

For transportation of goods in relation to all types of transactions such as outward supply whether within the State or interstate, inward supply whether from within the State or from interstate including from an unregistered persons or for reasons other than supply also e-way bill is mandatory.

Every registered person, who causes movement of goods, needs to generate the e-way bill. If the registered person is unable to generate the e-way bill, the transporters who transport the goods can generate the e-way bill on behalf of his/her client. If the movement is caused by an unregistered person, he may at his option generate the e-way bill.

For generation e-way bill in the GST e-Way Bill Portal, transporters have to enrol themselves in the GST common portal and get Unique Identification Number (UIN) with 15 digits. 

Registered taxpayers and registered transporters can generate e-way bill in the GST e-Way Bill Portal.  The transporters can generate e-way bill for their clients in the GST e-Way Bill portal.

E-way bill can be generated by transporters for goods even if the value of such goods less than Rs. 50000.00.

Any person can also enrol and generate e-way bill for movement of goods for his / her own use.

For generation of e-way bills the details of the documents such as tax invoice or bill of sale or delivery challan and Transporter’s Unique Identification Number, who is transporting the goods with transporters document number or the vehicle number in which the goods are transported shall be entered in the GST portal.

The Vehicle Number has to be mentioned in the e-way bill for the goods transported exceeding 10 Kilometres within the State and for all inter-State movement of goods irrespective of distance.

E-Way Bill is invalid without vehicle number for transportation of goods more than 10 Kms.

If the movement of goods are within 10 Kilometres within the state, there is no need to mention the vehicle number in e-way bill. E-Way bill with consignment should have latest vehicle number which is carrying the consignment.

A transporter can generate the consolidated e-way bills for movement of multiple consignments in one vehicle.

Consolidated e-way bill is a document containing the multiple e-way bills for multiple consignments being carried in one conveyance (goods vehicle), that is, the transporter, carrying the multiple consignments of various consignors and consignees in one vehicle is required to carry one consolidated e-way bill instead of carrying multiple e-way bills for those consignments.

If there is mistake, incorrect or wrong entry in the e-way bill, then it cannot be edited or corrected and hence due care has to be taken while preparation e-way bills.

The e-way bill can be cancelled within 24 hours from the time of generation if the goods mentioned in the e-way bill were not transported. The e-way bill once generated cannot be deleted.

However, it can be cancelled by the generator within 24 hours of generation. If it has been verified by any empowered officer, then it cannot be cancelled.

E-way bill can be cancelled if either goods are not transported or are not transported as per the details furnished in the e-way bill.

The e-way bill or consolidated e-way bill generated in the GST Portal have validity period and hence the goods have to be transported within the time limit as shown below:

Sl. No.	Distance	Validity Period
(1)	(2)	(3)
1.	Less than 100 Kms	One day
2.	100 Km or more but less than 300 km	Three days
3.	300 Km or more but less than 500 km.	Five days
4.	500 km or more but less than 1000 km.	Ten days
5.	1000 km or more	Fifteen days

For the above reason, the goods shall be arranged distance-wise i.e.  goods booked for long destination shall be placed at the inner side of the vehicles and goods booked for short destination shall be placed at the backside of the vehicles or near the door of the vehicle and the habit of making of long distance goods delivery first and then delivering the short destination consignments at the time of return of the vehicle should be avoided.

Some of the consignments are transported by the transporter through transhipment before it is delivered to the recipient at the place of destination. Hence for each movement from one place to another, the transporter needs to update the vehicle number in which he is transporting that consignment.

In some cases after generation e-way bill mentioning the vehicle number in the GST portal there may be certain practical difficulties like break down or repair of the vehicles and in such cases the vehicle number assigned in the GST portal while preparation of the e-way bill can be updated in the GST Portal.

There may be some transporters, who are not registered under the Goods and Services Tax Act and if such transporters cause the movement of goods for their clients, they are required to generate the e-way bill on behalf of their clients or update the vehicle number for e-way bill. Hence, they need to enrol on the e-way bill portal and generate the 15 digits Unique Transporter Identification Number.

The person who causes transport of goods shall generate the e-way bill specifying the details of other person as a recipient of goods. There is a provision in the common portal for the other party to see the e-way bill generated against his/her GSTIN. As the other party, one can communicate the acceptance or rejection of such consignment specified in the e-way bill. If the acceptance or rejection is not communicated within 72 hours from the time of generation of e-way Bill, it is deemed that he has accepted the details.

Press Release regarding E-way Bill

March 10, 2018

Recommendations made during the 26th meeting of the GST Council held in New

Delhi on 10th March, 2018

In the meeting held on 10thMarch, 2018, the GST Council has recommended the introduction of e-way bill for inter-State movement of goods across the country from

01st   April  2018.  For  intra-State  movement  of  goods,  e-way  bill  system  will  be

introduced w.e.f. a date to be announced in a phased manner but not later than 01st

June, 2018.

Major improvements over the last set of rules, as approved by the Council now, are as follows:

   E-way bill is required to be generated only where the value of the consignment exceeds Rs. 50000/-. For smaller value consignments, no e-way bill is required.

       The provisions of sub-rule (7) of Rule 138 will be notified from a later date.

Therefore, at present there is no requirement to generate e-way bill where an individual consignment value is less than Rs. 50,000/-, even if the transporter is carrying goods of more than Rs. 50,000/- in a single conveyance.

   Value of exempted goods has been excluded from value of the consignment, for the purpose of e-way bill generation.

   Public conveyance has also been included as a mode of transport and the responsibility of generating e-way bill in case of movement of goods by public transport would be that of the consignor or consignee.

   Railways has been exempted from generation and carrying of e-way bill with the  condition that  without  the  production of  e-way bill,  railways  will  not deliver the goods to the recipient. But railways are required to carry invoice or delivery challan etc.

   Time period for the recipient to communicate his acceptance or rejection of the consignment would be the validity period of the concerned e-way bill or 72 hours,whichever is earlier.

   In case of movement of goods on account of job-work, the registered job worker can also generate e-way bill.

   Consignor  can  authorize  the  transporter,  courier  agency  and  e-commerce operator to fill PART-A of e-way bill on his behalf.

   Movement of goods from the place of consignor to the place of transporter up to a distance of 50 Km [increased from 10 km] does not require filling of PART-B of e-way bill.They have to generate PART-A of e-way bill.

       Extra validity period has been provided for Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC).

   If the goods cannot be transported within the validity period of the e-way bill, the transporter may extend the validity period in case of transhipment or in case of circumstances of an exceptional nature.

   Validity of one day will expire at midnight of the day immediately following the date of generation of e-way bill.

   Once verified by any tax officer, the same conveyance will not be subject to a second check in any State or Union territory, unless and until, specific information for the same is received.

   In case of movement of goods by railways, airways and waterways, the e-way bill can be generated even after commencement of movement of goods.

   Movement of goods on account of Bill-To-Ship-To supply will be handled through the capturing of place of despatch in PART-A of e-way bill.
