E-Invoice & E-Way Bill Checker
Check whether a supply needs an e-invoice (IRN) and a movement of goods needs an e-way bill.
The E-Invoice and E-Way Bill Checker tells you whether a supply needs an e-invoice (IRN) and whether a movement of goods needs an e-way bill. E-invoicing applies to B2B supplies and exports by businesses whose aggregate turnover exceeded Rs 5 crore in any year from 2017-18, and those with turnover of Rs 10 crore or more must report invoices within 30 days. An e-way bill is generally needed when the consignment value exceeds Rs 50,000, with higher intra-state limits in some states such as Delhi.

Answer a few questions about the supplier, the supply and the movement of goods. The tool applies the CGST Rules (Rule 48(4) for e-invoicing and Rule 138 for e-way bills) and the intra-state limits notified by a few large states. It gives a plain yes or no with the reason.
Key rules
- E-invoice threshold: aggregate turnover above ₹5 crore in any financial year from 2017-18 onwards (from 1 August 2023). Once crossed, e-invoicing continues even if turnover later falls.
- Documents covered: B2B invoices, credit and debit notes, exports and supplies to SEZs. B2C invoices are not reported to the IRP.
- Exempt suppliers: insurers, banks, financial institutions and NBFCs; GTAs; passenger transport services; multiplex cinema admissions; SEZ units; government departments and local authorities.
- 30-day limit: from 1 April 2025, a business with aggregate turnover of ₹10 crore or more cannot report an invoice, credit note or debit note to the IRP more than 30 days after its date.
- E-way bill: needed for movement of goods with consignment value above ₹50,000 (Rule 138). Intra-state limits notified by states include ₹1 lakh in Delhi, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu; Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh use ₹50,000.
- Always required, whatever the value: inter-state movement of goods to or from a job worker, and inter-state movement of handicraft goods by a person exempt from registration.
- Part B (vehicle details): not required where goods move up to 50 km within the same state from the consignor's place of business to the transporter's place of business for onward transport.
- Validity: one day for every 200 km or part of it (20 km for over-dimensional cargo).

Frequently Asked Questions
Who has to issue e-invoices under GST?
A registered person whose aggregate turnover exceeded Rs 5 crore in any financial year from 2017-18 onwards must generate an IRN for B2B invoices, credit and debit notes, exports and supplies to SEZs. Insurers, banks, financial institutions and NBFCs, goods transport agencies, passenger transport services, multiplex cinema admissions, SEZ units and government departments and local authorities are excluded. B2C invoices are not reported for an IRN.
What is the 30-day time limit for reporting e-invoices?
From 1 April 2025, a taxpayer with aggregate annual turnover of Rs 10 crore or more cannot report an invoice, credit note or debit note to the Invoice Registration Portal more than 30 days after the document date. The IRP rejects late documents, so no IRN is generated and the invoice is not valid for GST. Taxpayers with turnover below Rs 10 crore are not yet subject to this limit.
When is an e-way bill required?
An e-way bill is required for movement of goods where the consignment value, including GST but excluding exempt goods, exceeds Rs 50,000. States may notify a higher limit for movement within the state: Delhi, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu use Rs 1 lakh, while Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh use Rs 50,000. Inter-state movement to a job worker needs an e-way bill whatever the value.
What is the e-way bill limit within Delhi?
For movement that starts and ends within Delhi without passing through another state, no e-way bill is needed where the consignment value does not exceed Rs 1 lakh. Supplies from a registered place of business to an unregistered end consumer within Delhi, accompanied by a tax invoice, are exempt whatever the value. For inter-state movement the Rs 50,000 limit applies.
How long is an e-way bill valid?
An e-way bill is valid for one day for every 200 km or part of it, counted from when Part B is first entered. For over-dimensional cargo the validity is one day for every 20 km. The validity can be extended before it expires if goods cannot reach in time for reasons such as a vehicle breakdown.
