  1. Facts

    An e-way bill is needed when goods of consignment value above Rs 50,000 move, whether for sale, return, job work or transfer. Some States use a higher limit for movement within the State. Certain goods and movements are exempt.

  2. Provisions and law

    • Sec 68, CGST Act 2017Person in charge of a conveyance carrying goods above a notified value must carry prescribed documents
    • 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
  3. Analysis

    Consignment value is the invoice value including GST, excluding exempt goods on the same invoice. Example: a Rs 45,000 invoice plus Rs 8,100 GST totals Rs 53,100, so an e-way bill is needed. For intra-State movement, some States such as Delhi and Maharashtra have notified a higher threshold; check your State's current limit on the e-way bill portal.

  4. Conclusion

    1. Compute consignment value including tax
    2. Check if it is above Rs 50,000 or your State's intra-State limit
    3. Check if the goods or movement are exempt
    4. Generate the e-way bill before dispatch
