Facts
An unregistered person can enrol on the e-way bill portal as a citizen to generate e-way bills when needed. If he sells to a registered buyer, the buyer can generate it. Value and goods rules still apply.
Provisions and law
- Rule 138, CGST Rules 2017E-way bill in EWB-01 is required for movement of goods of consignment value above Rs 50,000, with Part A and Part B
- Rule 138(1), proviso, CGST Rules 2017Unregistered persons or their transporters can generate e-way bills; registered buyers generate for inward supplies from unregistered persons
Analysis
Example: an unregistered furniture maker sends Rs 90,000 of furniture to a registered hotel. The hotel can generate the e-way bill as recipient, or the maker can use the citizen option. For movements by unregistered transporters, they can get a transporter ID by enrolling in EWB-07. Do not move high-value goods without one.
Conclusion
- Ask your registered buyer to generate the e-way bill
- Or use the citizen enrolment option on the portal
- Carry your bill or challan with the goods
- Check value and exemption before moving
