An e-Way Bill is mandatory for intra-state movement of goods worth more than ₹50,000. Some have also made it mandatory for inter-state movement of goods. The e-Way Bill is generated through an e-Way Bill portal, wherein you or the transporter have to upload certain mandatory details. Following this, the portal generates an e-Way Bill that has a unique e-Way Bill Number (EBN). The transporter has to carry a copy of this EBN when transporting goods (intra-state/inter-state) along with the invoice.
