\nWhy is the e-way bill required?
\nSection 68 of the Act mandates that the Government may require the person in charge of a conveyance carrying any consignment of goods of value exceeding such amount as may be specified to carry with him such documents and such devices as may be prescribed. Rule 138 of CGST Rules, 2017 prescribes e-way bill as the document to be carried for the consignment of goods in certain prescribed cases. Hence e-way bill generated from the common portal is required.

\nWhether e-way bill is required for all the goods that are being transported?
\nThe e-way bill is required to transport all the goods except exempted under the notifications or rules. Movement of handicraft goods or goods for job-work purposes under specified circumstances also requires e-way bill even if the value of consignment is less than fifty thousand rupees. Kindly refer to the e-way bill rules for other exemptions.
\nIs there any validity period for e-way bill?

\nWhat is the Part-A Slip?
\nPart-A Slip is a temporary number generated after entering all the details in PART-A. This can be shared or used by transporter or yourself later to enter the PART-B and generate the E-way Bill. This will be useful, when you have prepared invoice relating to your business transaction, but don't have the transportation details. Thus you can enter invoice details in Part A of eway bill and keep it ready for entering details of mode of transportation in Part B of eway bill.
\nWhen I enter the details in e-way bill form, the system is not generating e-way bill, but showing Part-A Slip?

\nHow does taxpayer enter Part-A details and generate e-way bill, when he is transporting goods himself?
\nSometimes, taxpayer wants to move the goods himself. E-way bill Portal expects the user to enter transporter ID or vehicle number. So if he wants to move the goods himself, he can enter his GSTIN in the transporter Id field and generate Part-A Slip. This indicates to the system that he is a transporter and he can enter details in Part-B later when transportation details are available.
\nWhat has to be entered in GSTIN column, if consignor or consignee is not having GSTIN?
\nIf the consignor or consignee is unregistered taxpayer and not having GSTIN, then user has to enter 'URP' [Unregistered Person] in correspo<\/p>\n

\nHow to handle the goods which move through multiple trans-shipment places?

Under this circumstance, each time the consignment moves from one place to another, the transporter needs to enter the vehicle details using 'Update Vehicle Number' option in part B of the EWB, when he starts moving the goods from that place. The transporter can also generate 'Consolidated EWB' with the EWB of that consignment with other EWBs and move the consignment to next place.

\nWho can generate the consolidated e-way bill?
\nA transporter can generate the consolidated e-way bills for movement of multiple consignments in one vehicle.
\nWhat is the validity of consolidated e-way bill?

\nWhat are the benefits of API Interface?
\nPresently registered person generates invoices from his IT system and logs into EWB system and enters e-way bill details and generate e-way bills. Here, the taxpayer has to make double entries – once for Invoice generation in his system and second time for e-way bill generation. He can integrate his system with EWB system through API. The EWB details are sent from taxpayer system to e-Way bill system through APIs and generation of e-way bill happens at e-Way bill system instantaneously. The eWay bill data is send back to the taxpayer system by the e-Way bill system so that EWB data can be stored in the taxpayers system itself. This will lead saving of manpower and cost of operator for this purpose. Secondly API interface will eliminate data<\/p>\n

\nOther Options
\nHow does the taxpayer become transporter in the e-way bill system?
\nGenerally, registered GSTIN holder will be recorded as supplier or recipient and he will be allowed to work as supplier or recipient. If registered GSTIN holder is transporter, then he will be generating EWB on behalf of supplier or recipient. He need to enter both supplier and recipient details while generating EWB, which is not allowed as a supplier or recipient.
\nTo change his position from supplier or recipient to transporter, the taxpayer has to select the option 'Register as Transporter' under registration and update his profile. Once it is done with logout and re-login, the system changes taxpayer as transporter and allows him to enter details of both supplier and recipient in EWB as per invoice.
