Mobile E-Way Bill is a mobile SMS based generation of the e-way bill. This is meant for small taxpayers, who may not have IT systems and may not have a large number of transactions for e-way bill generation in a day. This can also be used by taxpayers to generate e-Way Bill, in emergency cases like night, for urgent movement of transactions.
The taxpayer may do three activities related to the e-Way Bill system

  • Generate the E-Way Bill
  • Update the Vehicle details
  • Cancel the E-Way Bill

This is a very simple method of e-Way Bill generation. However, the taxpayer has to take care of sending the request for e-Way Bill, in proper format and without any mistake during the data entry in mobile. Otherwise, the E-way bill may be generated with wrong information

To use this method, the taxpayer has to register his mobile number, which is going to be used for e-Way Bill generation, on the web portal. The system enables only for that mobile number of the taxpayer (GSTIN) to generate e-Way Bill for that GSTIN. This facility is also available for the transporter.

Pre-requisites for operation via SMS
To use this service, the taxpayer or transporter has to open the e-way bill portal and login using his/her username and password and go to ‘Registration’ menu and ‘for SMS’ option. Here he/she will be requested to select the user and particulars of the user are shown with the mobile number. The taxpayer/transporter can register maximum 2 mobile numbers for the M-Way Bill purpose.

Validations

  • The system will carry out the following validations before processing the request. In case of failure of validation, the system sends the appropriate error message to the mobile number.
  • The system will validate the registered mobile number with the taxpayer/transporter before accepting the request.
  • The system will validate the correct keyword –
    EWBG/EWBT for E-way Bill Generate Request;
    EWBV for E-Way Bill vehicle update Request;
    EWBC for EWay Bill Cancel Request
  •  For generation, the system will validate the correctness of codes for Transaction TYPE – OSUP, OEXP, OJOB, OSCD, ORNK, OFOU, OEOF, OLNS, OOTH ISUP, IIMP, ISCD, IJWR, ISLR, IEOF, IOTH
  • For the generation, the system will verify the GSTIN of the recipient, if 15 chars have been provided.
  • For the generation, the system will validate the HSN Code with the HSN master codes.
  • For generation, the system checks the format of DelPinCode, InvDate, InvNo and
    Vehicle parameters
