Here is a list of certain documents and credentials that you need to generate an e-Way bill.
You must register on the e-Way bill portal
The invoices, bills, and challans related to the consignment
Transporter ID or the number of the vehicle in case the goods are being transported through roadways
The transporter ID, document number, and the date on the document if the goods are being moved with a train, aircraft, or ship
You should have an EWB bulk converter or an MS Excel file to convert the multiple files of e-Way bills into one JSON file. Then, follow the below steps:
Go to ‘Generate Bulk’ under the ‘e-Waybill’ option
Select the file and the JSON and upload them on the e-Way bill portal to generate the bulk bill
The JSON file will be uploaded if the system finds no errors
To print your e-Way bill, follow the below-mentioned steps:
Step 1: Log in to the official e-Way bill portal with your credentials
Step 2: Click on the ‘Print EWB’ option under the ‘e-Waybill’ section
Step 3: Enter the relevant e-Way bill 12-digit number and click on ‘Go’
Step 4: You will be able to see your e-Way bill and an option to ‘Print’ or ‘Detailed Print’ buttons
Step 5: Click on the option that suits you best
If a taxpayer has not filed his or her returns for two consecutive tax periods in a row, their e-Way bill ID will be blocked. As a result of the same, they will not be able to generate new e-Way bills.
The taxpayer’s ID will be unblocked only when a taxpayer files the GSTR-3B form. Then, all they will have to do is wait for 24 hours. You can learn more about e-Way Bill blocking and unblocking on Bajaj Markets.
No, you cannot generate an e-Way bill without a valid transport ID or vehicle number.
You cannot generate a backdated e-Way bill. While the dates of tax invoice generation and the e-Way bill generation can be different, the e-Way bills always have to be present-dated.
No, you cannot club multiple invoices for one e-Way bill. However, you can generate one consolidated E-Way bill if all the goods are being transported through a single vehicle.
Although recommended, the transporter doesn't need to carry a printout of the E-way bill, as you can also carry these documents digitally. If the tax invoice mentions the e-Way bill number, that would be sufficient.
You do not require an e-way bill when you supply goods from a customs port/air cargo complex to an inland container depot or freight station. You also don’t need this bill for a distance less than 10 km or through a non-motorized conveyance.
