What is an E-Way Bill?

An E-Way Bill (Electronic Way Bill) is a mandatory document for transporting goods worth more than ₹50,000 under GST rules. It ensures tax compliance and helps track goods in transit.

While the original version, E-Way Bill 1.0, served its purpose, users experienced issues like:

  • Slow server response

  • Poor bulk upload performance

To overcome these challenges and improve the user experience, E-Way Bill 2.0 was developed with significant technology upgrades. The new system aims to provide high-speed, scalable services for businesses of all sizes.
