E-way bill guide for e-commerce sellers

Moving goods worth over ₹50,000? You probably need an e-way bill. Here's how it works for online sellers.

By the Launch My Office team · Updated 2026-06-22 · 5 min read

An e-way bill is an electronic document for the movement of goods. It's generated on the e-way bill portal and accompanies consignments above a value threshold. For sellers, it matters most when sending stock to warehouses or fulfilling high-value orders.

When it's required

Who generates it

The supplier, recipient or transporter can generate the e-way bill. When you send stock to a fulfilment centre, you typically generate it for that movement. Marketplaces often handle e-way bills for customer deliveries from their centres.

What you need

  1. Your GSTIN and the recipient/destination details.
  2. Invoice or delivery challan with value and HSN.
  3. Transporter ID or vehicle number.
  4. Generate on the e-way bill portal and carry the number with the consignment.
Stock transfers to your own APOB in another state still need an e-way bill and a delivery challan, even though there's no sale. Keep these records for reconciliation.

Keep it consistent

E-way bill data should align with your invoices and returns. Mismatches between e-way bills and GSTR-1 can draw scrutiny.
