Online E-Waybill Registration

The steps for e-way bill registration for registered businesses are as follows:

• Be ready with the GSTIN and Mobile No. registered with the GST portal
• Log on to ewaybill.nic.in
• Select the "e-Way Bill Registration"
• Enter the GSTIN number and click "Go"
• Thereafter you will be redirected to an e-way bill registration form
• In the form, "Applicant Name", "Trade Name", "Address" and "Mobile Number" will be auto-filled
• Click on "Send OTP", in order to receive the OTP on the registered mobile number. Once the OTP is received, enter the OTP on the space displayed. Next, click on "Verify OTP". This will verify all the details in the e-way bill portal
• Provide a User ID or User Name, in order to use the newly created account on the e-way bill portal.
• Once the User ID or User Name is approved by the e-way bill portal, give a secured Password.
• Once both User ID / User Name and Password are validated and approved, the final registration request will get submitted. If there is any error, the system will display an error message. Else, if all is fine, the User ID / User Name along with the Password is created and registered with the e-way bill portal, hence completing the process of e-way bill registration.

9. Once the form is submitted, the e-way bill portal will generate a 15 digit Transporter ID or TRANS ID, along with the user credentials, thereby completing the process of e-way bill registration

Now the transporter is eligible to provide this 15-digit Transporter ID to his clients, so that when they include that in the e-way bill, the transporter will be able to access the same on the e-way bill portal and enter the vehicle number, for the movement of the consignment.

The following cases where GST-registered taxpayers are participating in the goods movement should generate an E-way bill.

1. E-Way bill generation is required when the value of goods in transit of more than Rs.50,000 effected by a registered taxpayer. The registered person is eligible to generate an E-way bill of goods of value less than Rs.50,000.

2. An Unregistered person who is making a supply to a registered person must generate an E-way bill. The recipient needs to ensure that all the compliances have been acknowledged under CGST Rules, 2017.

3. A conveyor carrying consignments via road, air, rail, etc., is required to generate an E-way bill if the supplier has not generated any E-way Bill.

E-Way Bills are generated on the E-Way bill portal (https://ewaybill.nic.in/). Users login and enter the requisite information via the following documents:

• Invoice/Bill/Receipts/ for goods transported.
• Transport documents (if goods are transferred by road) – transporter ID and vehicle information.
• Transport documents (if goods are transferred air/sea/land) – transporter ID, travel document number and date.
