Introduction

The eWay Bill portal is a crucial digital system introduced by the Indian Government under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) framework to ensure smooth and efficient movement of goods across state boundaries. It serves as a means to track the transportation of goods and mitigate tax evasion during the transit of goods. By mandating the creation of an eWay Bill for the movement of goods exceeding a specific value, the system aims to improve transparency and reduce illegal activities in the supply chain.

This article delves into the eWay Bill portal, explaining its significance, the steps involved in logging in, and the functionalities one can access after logging in.

What is the eWay Bill?

An eWay Bill is an electronic document required for the movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000 from one place to another within or outside a state under the GST regime. The bill serves as proof that goods are being transported legally, and it contains details such as:

• The GSTIN of the supplier and recipient

• Details of the goods being transported

• Vehicle number carrying the goods

• Consignor and consignee information

• HSN code, quantity, and value of the goods

The eWay Bill must be generated before the transportation begins, and the transporter must carry a physical or digital copy of the bill during the transit.
