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.

How to generate the e-way bill for movement of goods after Job work processing?
Whether the amount of JOB WORK processing charges are to be added to the value of the goods received for JOB WORK or only the amount of value of goods received for JOB WORK is to be mentioned on the e-way bill and the invoice of Job work charges is attached along with the inward challan receipt and the e-way bill?
I had the same query. So I took advise from customer care of GST executive who guided me on this issue.
He said E-way bill is for Goods movement and not services so we have to declare the value of goods worth in e-way bill and declare HSN code of goods for which job work is done and not SAC code in Eway bill.
Eg. We do textile job work weaving process, we get yarn and process it to a fabric. I have to send 10000-meter fabric. My job work rate is Rs 5 and the value of goods received Rs 25. My invoice amount will be Rs 50000 + GST. E-way bill amount will be Rs 300000 [10000 x (25+5)].
NOTE: Don’t select the GST rate and change it. keep everything 0 and net amount Rs 300000 in Eway bill.
This tells how much the value of goods is being transported.
Note: do not take goods inward GST amount in the valuation of goods.
Is E-Way bill is required if a customer takes delivery by hand and Invoice amount exceeds 100,000/-?
No, it is not required
if the cost of goods is 45,000 and goods are dispatch in the same state, distance is more than 50km is there any need to generate e waybill.
No
I have a consignment having the total value of Rs 20000 need to transport from Kochi to Thiruvalla (120 km). Did I need to take e way bill?
