2. For GST unregistered transporters
When is e-Way Bill registration required for unregistered transporters?
A Transporter is required to generate e- Way Bill if the Value of consignment value of goods of a single supplier exceeds Rs 50,000/- or the Value of all the goods in a vehicle through which goods are transported exceeds Rs 50,000/-
What is transporter ID?
Even if a transporter is unregistered, but the value of goods exceeds the above limit, the transporter has to generate e-Way Bills. Since he will not have a GSTIN, the concept of Transporter ID had been introduced.
Every unregistered transporter will be issued a Transporter ID, they will have to mention this ID on every e-Way Bill in place of GSTIN.
The Step-by-Step process to enrol on EWB portal has been explained in our article on Compliance with e-Way Bills by transporters.
By doing enrolment on e-Way Bill portal, the transporter gets a unique Transporter ID and a unique Username to operate on the e-Way Bill portal.
3. Action when goods received from an Unregistered Supplier
When goods are received from an unregistered supplier by a registered receiver, the receiver of goods has to comply to all the procedures of generating an e-Way Bill as if he is the actual supplier of those goods.
Hence, the receiver will have to generate an e-Way Bill.
