To transport goods within India, you must be aware of the E-way bill system. An E-way bill is a document that needs to be generated when transporting goods worth more than Rs. 50,000. The E-way bill is generated on the E-way bill portal. This blog post will show you how to generate consolidated E-way bills on the E-way bill portal.
What is a Consolidated E-way Bill?
A consolidated e-way bill is a single e-way bill generated for multiple consignments transported under the same transport document (POD). This is done to streamline generating and managing e-way bills for multiple consignments.
To generate a consolidated e-way bill, the user must first log in to the E-Way Bill portal. Once logged in, the user will be taken to the 'Generate E-Way Bill' page. On this page, the user will select 'Consolidated E-Way Bill' from the list of options. The user will then be prompted to enter the following information:
- Transport Document Number: The number of the transport document under which the consignments are being transported (e.g. POD number)
- Number of Consignments: The number of consignments being transported under the specified transport document
- E-Way Bill Number: The e-way bill number for each consignment being transported (these can be obtained from the individual e-way bills that have been generated for each consignment)
Once this information has been entered, the consolidated e-way bill will be generated.
