e-Way Bill under GST

What is e-Way Bill under GST?

The E-Way Bill is an electronic document that enables the movement of goods and is generated online through a portal set up by the Central Government. This system replaces the way bill in the previous VAT and CST systems and ensures that the bill is submitted for the transportation of goods. Under the GST regime, the way bill system is made electronic and centralised, making transportation more convenient for businesses.

Under the GST regime, businesses must file an electronic way bill (e-way bill) for transporting goods within a state or between different states. The e-way bill system, which replaced the earlier VAT and CST way bill system, simplifies transportation and ensures that bills are generated and submitted electronically. The system was first implemented in April 2018 and is now in use nationwide.

The implementation of the e-way bill system has reduced documentation for the transportation of goods. Unlike the previous state-wise documents, now only one bill is generated for both inter-state and intra-state movement of goods. This online system has replaced physical document submission with electronic documents, making transportation easier and more streamlined.
