Generate eWay Bill on Portal: Registration, Tax, Rules & Details of EWB

The eWay Bill System is a document that provides information about the movement of goods and must be carried by transporters for any consignment exceeding Rs. 50,000. The National Informatics Centre is responsible for developing the complete eWay Bill System, which includes a web-based IT application, hosting IT infrastructure, and managing the system’s operations.

The e-Way Bill System offers various modes of generation, such as Web, Bulk Upload, SMS, Mobile App, and API for Large Taxpayers/GST Suvidha Providers (GSPs). As 24×7 accessibility is critical for this application, the infrastructure is designed to provide redundancy at multiple levels, including firewall, load balancer, switches, racks, virtual machines (web servers), database servers, and MPLS links (for connecting to GSTN servers). The front end of the system has 24 virtual machines that use IIS, while additional virtual machines are created for API, Mobile App, GSTN API, and Redis.

 Who Can Generate an eWay Bill?

  • A person registered for GST must generate an Eway bill when moving goods valued at over Rs. 50,000.
  • Even if the value of the goods is less than Rs. 50,000, a registered person can still generate an E-way bill.
  • If an unregistered person supplies goods to a registered person, the registered person must ensure that an E-way bill is generated to comply with regulations.
  • If a transporter is moving goods via road, air, rail, etc., and the supplier has not generated an E-way bill, the transporter must generate one.
