How the engagement works
E-Way Bill requirements are governed by the applicable provisions of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017, corresponding State or Union Territory GST laws, GST Rules, and related notifications and procedures. Rule 138 of the CGST Rules contains provisions relating to information to be furnished before commencement of movement of goods in specified circumstances and the generation of an E-Way Bill. Applicability, threshold limits, exemptions, validity, and other requirements may vary based on the nature of movement and applicable notifications.
Scenario 1: A newly GST-registered business regularly transports goods and needs assistance setting up its E-Way Bill portal access.
Scenario 2: A manufacturer or trader begins interstate movement of goods and wants to establish a proper E-Way Bill compliance process.
Scenario 3: A business has multiple users or locations and needs guidance on setting up appropriate E-Way Bill portal access.
Scenario 4: A business frequently generates E-Way Bills and wants to reduce errors in invoice, transporter, vehicle, or destination details.
Scenario 5: A taxpayer receives an E-Way Bill-related compliance issue or notice and needs assistance in understanding and resolving it.

General questions
01What is an E-Way Bill?
An E-Way Bill is an electronic document generated through the prescribed GST system for specified movements of goods. It contains relevant information about the goods, consignor, consignee, and transportation.
02Who needs an E-Way Bill?
E-Way Bill requirements depend on the nature and value of the movement of goods, the transaction, location, and applicable GST provisions and exemptions. The exact applicability should be evaluated based on the specific movement.
03What is required to generate an E-Way Bill?
Information may include invoice or document details, supplier and recipient GST details, value and description of goods, transporter information, vehicle details, and other movement-related information prescribed under the applicable rules.
04Is E-Way Bill registration different from GST registration?
Yes. GST registration provides the taxpayer with a GSTIN, while E-Way Bill portal registration and access are used for generating and managing E-Way Bills for applicable movements of goods.
05Can you help set up E-Way Bill access for employees?
Yes. We can provide guidance on user creation, access configuration, and internal procedures for employees or authorized personnel responsible for generating and managing E-Way Bills.
06What happens if there is an error in an E-Way Bill?
The appropriate action depends on the type of error and the applicable E-Way Bill rules. Depending on the circumstances, correction, cancellation, regeneration, or other permitted action may be required.
07Can you help with E-Way Bill notices or compliance issues?
Yes. We can review E-Way Bill-related notices, mismatches, validity issues, or other communications and assist with understanding the issue and taking the appropriate compliance action.
