Blocking and Unblocking of e-Way Bill

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.

FAQs on e-Way Bill

Can you generate an e-Way bill without a transporter ID?

No, you cannot generate an e-Way bill without a valid transport ID or vehicle number.

Can we generate a backdated e-Way bill?

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.

Can we generate e-Way bills for multiple invoices belonging to the same consignor and consignee?

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.

Is an e-way bill printout mandatory?

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.

Where is the e-Way bill not required?

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.
