In West Bengal, we are not required to issue e way bill for invoice value below Rs. one lakh. We have to send 4 consignments to different buyers - all the invoice values are less than Rs. one lakh. All the 4 consignments are to be sent in a single vehicle up to the transporter's godown, from where the goods will be carried to designated destinations by the transporter.
My query is we may not generate e way bills for movement to the individual buyer, but whether we are required to generate e way bill for movement up to the transporter's godown as the combined value of 4 invoices exceed Rs. one lakh.
Debate on E-Way Bill: Necessary for Multiple Consignments Under Rs. 1 Lakh Each But Exceeding Total? A query was raised regarding the requirement of generating an e-way bill for transporting multiple consignments in West Bengal, each valued below Rs. one lakh, but collectively exceeding this amount. Responses varied, with some advising that an e-way bill is necessary if the total consignment value exceeds Rs. one lakh, while others suggested generating e-way bills to avoid issues with enforcement officers. It was also mentioned that if the customers differ and each consignment is below the threshold, an e-way bill might not be needed. The discussion highlighted the importance of erring on the side of caution. (AI Summary)
