Eway Bill: Enhancing the Indian economy with streamlined operations

---

With Implementation of Eway Bill from 1st April 2018, the Way Bill system has played a pivotal role in setting a benchmark for businesses across India. All the top logistic companies which are transporting goods in order to streamline the supply chain process have benefited with the introduction of the Eway bill as they have ensured seamless interstate movement of goods. The way Bill mechanism has made it compulsory that all the goods worth 50, 000 needs to be preregistered before they move the goods beyond 10 Km mark from the official start point.  

In which different situation can an Eway bill be generated

Eway could be generated when there is a movement of goods in relation to supply, maybe an inward supply from an unregistered person. To produce an e-Way Bill, you have to furnish invoice level details and transportation details in the e-Way Bill portal.

One of the ways to do this is to record invoice details in your software, upload the data onto to the portal, key in the transportation details and generate e-Way Bill. The e-Way Bill will demonstrate the e-Way Bill Number (EBN) on it and you can also key in both the invoice and transportation details in the e-Way Bill portal to generate e-Way Bill.

Before the introduction of Eway Bill, they were subject to state-specific rules and were generated through different state-specific portals. Now under GST, E-way bill is governed by a uniform set of rules which is applicable across the nation and can be generated electronically. This new billing system creates a facility for transporters to raise complaints, in case a vehicle is detained for more than 30 minutes.
