GST E-Way Bill in India (2026): When You Need One and How to Generate It
What an e-way bill is, the value threshold that triggers it, and how to generate one quickly for goods in transit.
An e-way bill is an electronic document required when moving goods above a certain value. It links the consignment to your GST invoice so transit is documented. Here is when you need one and how to raise it. This is general information, not tax advice — GST rules, rates and thresholds change and vary by case, so confirm specifics with a qualified professional or the official GST portal.
When an e-way bill is required
Generally required for movement of goods above the notified value, for both interstate and (in many states) intrastate transport. Thresholds vary, so check your state rules.
What it contains
