An E-way bill is an electronic record generated on the GST portal that documents the flow of goods. It is a method of uploading the information by the person who causes the movement of goods through a digital platform before the transportation of such goods. This information will help in the generation of the e-way bill on the website. In this article, we will learn about the state-by-state e-way bill limit and how to generate one if a transaction exceeds the specified limit.
The e-way bill was implemented on April1, 2018 for the interstate movement of goods as per the decision of the 26th GST Council Meeting. It was supposed to be implemented within the states in a phased-out manner from April 15 to June 1, 2018. However, all states had to implement the e-way bill for local movement of goods up to June 1, 2018. According to the latest e-way bill update, a roll-out plan was presented at the GST Council's 26th meeting, in which the country would be divided into four zones and one zone will be added to the E-way bill each week, allowing a full e-way bill state-by-state roll-out to be attempted by May, 2018.
Many state governments issued their own e-way bill notifications for the applicability of E-way bill for the intrastate movement of goods. For example, Karnataka has made the process of registration and creation of the Karnataka e-way bill very simple. All you have to do is to go to www.gst.kar.nic.in and furnish requisite details. These are then forwarded to the national E-way bill portal. You will then have to complete the process on this portal.
Did you know?
That when an E-way bill is generated, a unique E-way Bill Number (EBN) is assigned and made available to both, the supplier as well as the recipient? An E-way bill is also assigned to the transporter of the said products.

Advantages of an E-way Bill
An E-way Bill has helped to do away with check- posts between States which was time-consuming and resulted in many delay
It brings about a marked reduction in the costs of logistics.
Invoicing becomes very accurate
The bill helps in the speedy movement of goods within a State and between States
The turnaround time for deliveries is faster with goods reaching on time without any delay
All necessary taxes are paid
Conclusion
For the government, the e-way bill has one key advantage. It has the power to unite India as a single market and get rid of the inconvenience caused at numerous inter-State checkpoints. E-way bills facilitate the transfer of goods, allowing customers to get their purchases considerably more quickly. An E-way bill created by a sender or buyer of goods must be automatically updated in the outbound sales return (GSTR1). This includes the supplier's sale return. There will be minimal room for tax avoidance as a result. Tally users can also use the Biz Analyst App to manage the business more effectively. You can manage the accounts, make ledgers, and even do data entry to keep the business on the right track.
We hope the article has given you the relevant information about the e-way bill and its applicability as well as about the e-way bill limit for intrastate supply.
