The Central Government has launched the GST E-Way Bill registration and enrollment portal for transporters and citizens at ewaybill.nic.in. All taxpayers can generate e-way bills online, which are mandatory for shipping goods nationwide. Transporters and citizens can access the portal to complete their enrollment via the official websites ewaybill.nic.in or ewaybillgst.gov.in.
Transporters must register for each shipment of goods valued over Rs. 50,000. Consequently, the central government has made e-way bills compulsory for both inter-state and intra-state movement. You can log in to the e-way bill portal to manage your requirements. Many states have already implemented the e-way bill system through the GST Network (GSTN), a platform developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
