GST EWay Bill

GST eWay Bill is a document for tracking of goods in transit introduced under the Goods and Services Tax. Under GST, a taxable person registered under GST transporting goods with a value of over Rs.50,000 is required to possess an eWay Bill generated from the GST Portal. LEDGERS can make eWay Bill generation and management simple for your business. The LEDGERS eWay Bill tool is synced to GST invoices, bill of supply, purchase invoices and customer or supplier accounts. So you can now seamlessly at the click of a button generate eWay Bill and share with your customers or suppliers.

eWay Bill Requirement


GST eWay bill is required for the following cases wherein a person having GST registration is causing movement of goods:

Generating eWay Bill


GST EWay Bill can be generated LEDGERS users directly. Prior to using LEDGERS for eWay Bill generation, ensure that API access is enabled on the GST Portal for eWay bill generation and management.

Once API access is enabled and GST eWay Bill module is activated, you can generate eWay Bill by accessing GST -> Create eWay Bill. Data of customers or suppliers and existing invoices or bill of supply can be quickly retrieved while creating a GST eWay Bill using LEDGERS, making the process extremely simple and easy to use.

Once, an eWay Bill is generated, theperson in-charge of conveyance of goods is required to carry the following documents for inspection by authorities at any time:

If a taxable person is registered under GST wants to transport goods using own vehicle or hired vehicle as a supplier or to be received in the course of business as a recipient, the taxable person can generate a EWay Bill in Form GST INS-1 electronically on the GST Common Portal by providing information requested in Part B of FORM GST INS-01.

If a transporter is involved in the transfer of Goods, then the taxable person registered under GST must furnish information about the consignment in Part B of FORM GST INS-01 on the GST Common Portal. Using this information, the transporter would then generate a EWay Bill on the basis of the information provided by the taxable person in Part A of FORM GST INS-01. Transporters are allowed to generate and carry E-Way bill even if the value of the consignment is less than Rs.50,000.
