E-way bill

[MohanLal tiwari]

Dear experts,

We have dispatched / removed consignments on 29th & 30th March but transporter has kept the same in their godown due to year end pressure and non availability of vehicles. Now transporting is dispatching the goods, please advise :

1. There was no compulsion of way bill up to 31st March, no way bill was generated by us.

2. Now transporter should generate e-Way bill from their id.

3. The date of LR & invoice is 28/29th, will it have any impact if e-way bill is generated today.

4. What is the other option available in such case.

Way bill to be issued before commencement of movement of goods. in your case, movement started before way bill become mandatory. Hence, way bill is not required

The transporter may generate the e-way bill if the transport of goods inter-state transactions;.

AI Summary

E Way bill requirement: generate before commencement of movement; transporter may generate one for inter state carriage. An e way bill must be issued before commencement of movement; if movement began before the e way mandate, an e way bill is not required for that movement. The transporter may generate an e way bill for ongoing or subsequent carriage where statutory e way conditions apply, such as inter state transport, and invoice/LR dates do not retroactively create an obligation for prior movement.
