*Last updated: 10 October 2026.*
Quick answer
E-way bill kaise banaye? An e-way bill is an electronic document that you need when you move goods worth more than Rs 50,000. You generate it on the e-way bill portal using your tax invoice, the HSN code, the GSTINs, the distance and the vehicle details. The goods must travel with the e-way bill, or its number, so officers can check it on the road.
