E-way Bill Required for Transporting Mobile Phones Over 1 Lakh via Public Transport; No Exemption for Motorized Means A distributor in Chennai inquired about the necessity of an E-way bill for transporting mobile phones via public transport, such as buses and the metro, with invoice values exceeding 1 lakh. A respondent clarified that no exemption exists for motorized transport, and an E-way bill must be generated, though practical difficulties arise in filling vehicle details for public conveyances. Another contributor suggested generating the bill before travel, filling Part A, and manually completing Part B during the journey. The metro, being motorized, requires an E-way bill unless the journey involves non-motorized means like walking or cycling.
