E-way bill is a proof of electronic record of goods movement. E-way bill was compulsory in inter-state supplies of goods from 1 April after technological glitches propelled the government to delay the roll out from the initial implementation from 1 February 2018.

Its rollout is assumed to verify tax evasion and assist in enhancing revenue buoyancy. Relying on the achievement of E-way bills for interstate supply, an E-way bill is put to be launched for goods movement in a state in a systematic way.
