Dear Sir

In terms of Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, E- way bill has to be generated by the registered  person who causes the movement of consignment of goods worth Rs. 50,000/- and above as required in Part A. And the transporter has to provide the details of conveyance in Part B. As such transporter need not have GST registration as far as this issue is concerned.

The transporters are required to generate a transporter ID on EWB portal.

How is it possible that this transporter has not?

Is he a new transporter?

[Shilpi Jain]

You should check directly with the transporter and if he not registered in EWB portal to get the tranporter ID you should ask him to get it done and then move your goods.

Else it would be violation if you transport goods without proper documentation and you may be liable for penalty of up to 200% of the tax amount involved.
