What is an eway bill?

e-way bill is short for Electronic Way Bill. GST E-way bill is a document used to track goods in transit introduced under the Goods and Service Tax. A taxable person registered under GST involved in the transportation of goods with a value of over Rs.50,000 must possess an E-way bill generated on the GST Portal.

However, it is to be noted that when the GST Act came into being on the 1st of July, the E-way bill implementation was deferred.
