E-Way Bill –

The E-Way Bill is an Electronic Waybill for goods transportation that is created using the eWay Bill Portal. Without an e-way bill created on ewaybillgst.gov.in, a GST-registered person cannot move goods in a vehicle with a value greater than Rs. 50,000 (single invoice/bill/delivery challan).

Alternatively, an Eway bill may be produced or cancelled by SMS, an Android application, or through site-to-site connectivity via an API.

When a waybill is created, it is assigned a Unique Eway Bill Number (EBN), which is accessible to the provider, receiver, and carrier.
