AI Summary

E-way bill applicability: generate to mitigate interception risk for consignments in transit despite pre implementation invoices.
Applicability of the e-way bill depends on the central mandatory implementation date; invoices dated before implementation generally do not legally require an e-way bill, but advisers recommend generating one for consignments in transit at implementation to avoid interception. State trade notices may provide transitional validity for waybills generated before portal cut off, and practitioners should confirm the correct registration/generation portal and any state-specific instructions.
