The e-Way bill is an electronic document generated on the GST portal evidencing movement of goods. The details to be furnished while generating the e Way bill include the GSTIN of recipient, place of delivery, invoice or challan number and date, value of goods, HSN code, transport document number (Goods Receipt Number or Railway Receipt Number or Airway Bill Number or Bill of Lading Number), and reasons for transportation and transporter details (vehicle number).
