Recently, GST taxpayers are encountering a weird situation of invalid credential issues while logging into their GST account on the govt portal even if they input correct details. This issue has now been taken into consideration and the govt has also released a procedure to eradicate such problem.
Meanwhile, Eway bill is an Electronic Waybill mandatory to be created on the eWayBill Portal – https://ewaybillgst.gov.in/ whenever there is the transportation of goods whose value exceeds INR 50,000.
A GST registered person is not eligible to transport goods in a vehicle without the eway bill, whose value is more than Rs. 50,000 (Single Invoice/bill/delivery challan. As a matter of choice, Eway bill can be created or cancelled through SMS, Android App and by site-to-site integration via API also.
When an eway bill is produced, a unique Eway Bill Number (EBN) is allocated and is available to the supplier, recipient, and the transporter.
Who should Generate an eWay Bill?
- Registered Person – Eway bill must be generated when there is transportation/movement of goods surpassing the value of Rs 50,000 to or from a Registered Person. While the eWay can be generated and carried even if the value of goods is less than Rs 50,000.
- Unregistered Persons – Unregistered persons should also generate e-Way Bill. However, when a supply is made by an unregistered person to a registered person, the receiver who is the registered person will be responsible to ensure all the compliances are duly met by suppliers.
- Transporter – It becomes mandatory for Transporters who are carrying goods by road, air, rail, etc. to generate e-Way Bill when the supplier has not generated the same.
