E-Way Bill Compliance
E-Way Bill Compliance is a critical component of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime that mandates the generation of an electronic way bill for the movement of goods exceeding a specified value (₹50,000 in most cases). The E-Way Bill System ensures seamless transportation of goods while curbing tax evasion. Businesses must adhere to E-Way Bill requirements by generating, updating, and managing waybills for all applicable transactions. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, detention of goods, and disruptions in supply chains.
