Goods and services tax was applicable in India from the 1st of July 2017 while there are other provisions including the GST E Way Bill which was applicable from the 1st of April 2018 across the nation.
However, the implementation was done in phases to avoid any further technical glitches. There were 4 phases in which the e-way bill was implemented.
Earlier, there were some queries regarding the distance of an e-way bill and its applicability, and here we have cleared the issues by exact laws detailed by the GST council and finance ministry.

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.
