In order to curtail tax evasion loopholes, a new system of E-way bill has been introduced by linking GSTIN. Accordingly, the new E-way bill can be generated from the GST portal by filling the form GST EWB-01. This is mandatory for all kinds of goods transported through road/air/ship/rail etc if the value of the goods is above Rs.50,000.

  7. E-way bill need not be generated if the goods are moved for customs clearance from an airport, air cargo complex or land customs station to Inland Container Depot or Container Freight Station.
  8. But when the goods are transported from the customs to the recipient’s registered place, then the e-way bill has to be generated.
