GST E-way Bill

Introduction

The introduction of the E-Way Bill under the GST regime has been a significant step towards digitizing and streamlining the process of goods transportation in India. An E-Way Bill is an electronic document, generated on the GST portal, evidencing the movement of goods.

Understanding the E-Way Bill System

The E-Way Bill system is a crucial component of the GST framework, designed to curb tax evasion and ensure seamless movement of goods across state and within state boundaries. It is mandatory for the movement of goods with a value exceeding a certain threshold. CorpIQ's role is to help businesses understand when and how to generate E-Way Bills and ensure their transportation activities are fully compliant with GST regulations.
