As the name suggests, GST EWB-01 is a billing document that's needed when there's a movement of goods involved whose value exceeds Rs. 50,000. Value of goods is determined by the invoice amount or any other payment receipt like supply bill or challan, and is usually inclusive of taxes such as CGST, SGST and IGST. Goods that aren’t taxable but are part of the tranche, are not shown on the billing document. All the important details concerning the seller, recipient and the transporter are mentioned on the GST EWB-01 document.

In case the suppliers commute using personal vehicles for delivery of the goods, then GST EWB-01 has to be generated before initiating the movement of goods.

When the Bill has to be Generated?

If the net value of the transported goods exceeds Rs. 50,000 then the following have to produce a bill:

Sender: In case the goods are transported using their own vehicle, via any mode of transportation, the GST e-way bill has to be produced.
Transporter: When the goods are being moved through roadways and the sender doesn’t have the billing document, then it's the responsibility of the transporter to generate the bill before commencing the journey. The GST e-way bill has to be made on the basis of product details mentioned in the invoice given to him by the sender.

Transport Mode: GST EWB-01 bill is not needed in case of any non-motor vehicle.
