Moving goods worth more than ₹50,000 without a valid e-way bill can get your consignment detained at a checkpoint — and if your GSTIN is already blocked for non-filing, you can’t generate a new one at all until that’s fixed first. We handle e-way bill generation and the compliance behind it so your goods keep moving. Call or WhatsApp us on 70 9232 9232.

When you need one
An e-way bill is required before you move goods worth more than ₹50,000 across state lines — that ₹50,000 threshold is fixed nationwide for inter-state movement. For movement within the same state, the threshold is set by each state’s own rules and can differ from the national figure, which is exactly where businesses shipping to multiple states get tripped up assuming one number applies everywhere.
Validity is tied to distance, not just time
Under Rule 138, a standard e-way bill is valid for 1 day for every 200 km (or part thereof) the goods need to travel; over-dimensional cargo gets a stricter 1 day per 20 km. The real planning question isn’t “how many days is it valid” in isolation — it’s whether the distance you’ve declared matches the validity period the system will actually allow, since an e-way bill that expires mid-transit because the distance was under-declared is a preventable, entirely self-inflicted delay.
The blocking trap: miss 2 GSTR-3B filings, lose e-way bill access
Under Rule 138E, if you fail to file GSTR-3B (or CMP-08 for composition taxpayers) for two or more consecutive tax periods, the GST portal automatically blocks your GSTIN from generating new e-way bills. E-way bills already generated stay valid until they expire — this only blocks new ones. If this happens to you, filing the overdue returns is what unblocks it; in genuinely urgent cases, a temporary exception can be requested via Form GST EWB-05 to the jurisdictional Commissioner, but that’s a fallback, not a routine option.
What we actually do
- Generating e-way bills correctly, with validity matched to actual transit distance
- Checking state-specific intra-state thresholds before you assume the national ₹50,000 figure applies
- Keeping your GSTR-3B filing current so your e-way bill access never gets blocked under Rule 138E
- Sorting out a Rule 138E block quickly if it’s already happened
- Direct access to your consultant — no call centre
