GST E-Way Bill Generation in Pune: Mandatory ₹50,000 Threshold, Part A/B Filling & Vehicle Breakdown Rules

Mastering the GST E-Way Bill System in Pune (ewaybillgst.gov.in)

Under Rule 138 of the CGST Rules, every registered supplier or transporter transporting goods worth more than ₹50,000 in consignment value must generate an electronic E-Way Bill (EWB) prior to commencing movement. In Pune's sprawling industrial corridors—where hundreds of trucks move daily between Hadapsar, Chakan, Talegaon, and JNPT—moving goods without a valid E-Way Bill invites instant interception by GST Mobile Flying Squads.

Transporting goods without a valid E-Way Bill triggers draconian statutory penalties under Section 129: the consignment and vehicle are seized, and release requires payment of a penalty equal to 200% of the applicable tax. Generating an E-Way Bill requires populating Part A (supplier/recipient GSTIN, HSN code, invoice value) and Part B (vehicle registration number or transporter ID).
