In case the value of the consignments more than INR 50,000, you will need to carry a very special document called the E-way bill to prove the source. For all companies registered under the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the need for E-way bill registration is really critical. A step-by-step procedure explaining how the tax filing is done is jotted down below.

Even if the value does not exceed INR 50,000/- there are cases where the E-way bill generation is not required.

  1. When the goods are moved around from either air cargo complex, ports, airports, to the container freight station or inland freight station for the clearance by the customs.
  2. The transport of a non-motor vehicle.
  3. Some goods mentioned in the CGST Rules of 2017 are exempt from paying the e-way bill.

When does the filing of E-way bills tend to begin?

Now, this is a serious matter to ponder upon. A trial roll-out facility has been made accessible to all businesses from the 16th of January, 2018.
