Here, We have Described the Doubts Regarding the Distance:
In some cases there are doubts about whether a distance lower than 50 km, is their applicability to generating a GST E Way Bill, here we clear the issues regarding the distance of GST E Way Bill. According to the Eway bill 138, notification – 12/2018, date 07-03-2018, defines supply under GST preface 3 situations:
- Interstate supply – If in case the supply is interstate and the value of the goods is more than 50,000 then a GST E Way Bill is mandatory to generate.
- Supply for further transportation – If in case the supply is intrastate and for further transportation and the transportation office is shorter than 50km then the GST E Way Bill is mandatory to be filled only Part A of the bill.
- Supply to consignee – If intrastate supply is going directly to the consignee if the value of the consignment exceeds Rs. 50,000 while the distance is even within 1 km and transported through the motorized vehicle, it is mandatory to generate GST E Way Bill.
