When you do not need an e-way bill

Not every movement of goods needs an e-way bill.

Common exemptions

• Consignment value below the threshold (generally ₹50,000, though states vary)
• Transport by non-motorised conveyance
• Specified exempt goods, and certain items like fresh produce
• Very short movements within prescribed limits

State rules differ, especially the intra-state threshold, so check your state. When in doubt for inter-state movement above the limit, generate one. See when an e-way bill is needed.
