e-Way Bill

The e-Way Bill is not a private company but a government-mandated system managed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC) on behalf of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, Government of India. Launched on April 1, 2018, its mission is to ensure a unified and streamlined process for tracking goods movement, thereby preventing tax evasion and simplifying compliance for businesses. The system requires transporters, suppliers, and recipients to generate a unique e-Way Bill for consignments, which must be carried by the person in charge of the conveyance.
