Facts
For inter-State movement of goods to a job worker, an e-way bill is required even if the value is below Rs 50,000. The principal or a registered job worker generates it on a delivery challan.
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 55, CGST Rules 2017Delivery challan is used for movement of goods without a sale, such as job work or goods on approval
- Sec 143, CGST Act 2017Principal may send inputs and capital goods to a job worker without paying tax, subject to conditions
Analysis
Example: a Delhi garment maker sends fabric worth Rs 30,000 to a job worker in Noida in Uttar Pradesh. Because it is inter-State job work, the e-way bill is needed despite the low value. Use a delivery challan, not a tax invoice. Report job work movements in ITC-04 as applicable.
Conclusion
- Prepare a delivery challan with job work details
- Generate an e-way bill for inter-State job work regardless of value
- Track returns from the job worker
- Report in ITC-04 as required
