How to Generate Eway Bill?
An electronic waybill for the transport of commodities is known as an E-way bill. It aids in the tracking of goods flow following GST regulations and aids in the prevention of tax evasion.
What is e-way bill?
The E-way bill, also known as an electronic waybill, is a paper required under the GST regime before transporting or shipping goods worth more than INR 50,000 within states.
If an unregistered individual supplies products inward, he must also produce an E waybill.
SMS, Android App, and API site-to-site connectivity will all be used to create or cancel E-way bills. A specific E-way Bill Number (EBN) is available to the provider, receiver, and transporter after the E-way bill is produced.
