Important Points to be Noted by Transporters of Goods

Transporters of goods need to keep the following points in mind while using the e way bill portal:-

• You can register on the portal of e way bill by using your GSTIN. If you don't have GSTIN, then you can enrol on the portal without GSTIN too.
• No e-way bill is required if the value of the goods in an individual consignment is less than rupees 50,000, even if the total value of all such consignments in a single conveyance is more than rupees 50,000.
• Railways have been exempted from generation and carrying of e-way bill. But railways are required to carry invoice or delivery challan etc. However, e-way bill has to be produced by the recipient before the delivery of the goods by the Railways.
• 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 exceptional nature.
• Transporters can generate consolidated e way bills in FORM GST EWS-02.
• Where the goods are transferred from one conveyance to another, details of conveyance should be updated by the transporter in Part B of FORM GST EWB-01.
• 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 concerning the same is received.
• The validity of e-way bill is one day up to 100 km (20 km in case of Over Dimensional Cargo). For every 100 km or part thereof, it is one additional day. So if the distance to transport the cargo is 500 km, the transporters have 5 days to transport the cargo with a valid e-way bill. Validity of one day will expire at midnight of the day immediately following the date of generation of e-way bill.

E-Way Bill Updates in 2026

GSTN has brought some new changes to the e-way bill system in 2026. The Ship-To GSTIN field has been made mandatory for all Bill-To and Ship-To e-way bills. This means that when goods are delivered to a different location than the billing address, the GSTIN of the delivery location has to be filled. If the delivery is to an unregistered location, then "URP" has to be entered in the Ship-To GSTIN field.

GSTN has also introduced a voluntary e-way bill closure facility. Once goods are delivered, the supplier, recipient, transporter or an authorised driver can close the e-way bill. The closure has to be done on the same day of delivery or the immediately next day. This helps in keeping a clean record of delivery in the GST system.

These changes were earlier planned to be implemented from 15 June 2026 and then from 1st August 2026. GSTN has placed these amendments on hold as of 29th July 2026, and a revised go-live date is yet to be announced. Businesses that use ERP or accounting software for e-way bill generation should keep their systems updated for these changes.

This E-Way Bill is based on the motto "One Nation, One Tax, One Market". VAT Authorities have already issued printed booklets to all the businesses and dealers who are regularly paying taxes. Central government has also made the inter state and intra state e-way bill mandatory.
