EWay Bill is an electronically generated document comprising of invoice and associated shipment details. A unique number is generated for each eway bill. It is mandatory to generate E-Way Bill on all transactions across India where non-exempted good is being transported inter or intra-state and is valued above 50,000. The government introduced E-Way Bill to effectively monitor the movement of goods for taxation purposes without impacting the movement itself which was the case with earlier monitoring mechanisms.

Impact of E-Way Bill

E-Way Bill compliance has had a profound impact on business as a whole- becoming an operational nightmare if not taken care of properly. The penalty for not adhering to e-way bill compliances is a minimum of Rs. 10,000 or an amount equivalent to tax on invoice, whichever is higher. It therefore, becomes crucial to consider how to realign processes and stakeholders and form a compliance strategy, so the minimal impact is seen.
