E-way bill & e-invoice checker
Two quick checks: whether a movement needs an e-way bill (and for how long it stays valid), and whether a document needs e-invoicing (an IRN) before it is a valid tax invoice.
E-way bill: checked against the inter-state threshold, or your state's own intra-state threshold where this tool has it, with the job-work and handicraft exceptions applied first.
E-invoice: checked against the AATO threshold in force on your invoice date (the threshold has stepped down several times since 2020), after ruling out exempt entity types and B2C documents.
Frequently asked questions
When is an e-way bill required?
For most goods, once the consignment value crosses a threshold: ₹50,000 for inter-state movement, and a state-specific amount (sometimes higher) for intra-state movement. Some movements, like inter-state job work, need one regardless of value.
What decides an e-way bill’s validity period?
Distance, at one day per 200 km for normal cargo (rounded up), with a longer allowance for over-dimensional cargo.
When is e-invoicing (an IRN) required?
Once your aggregate annual turnover in any financial year since 2017-18 crosses the notified threshold, for every B2B invoice, export, SEZ supply and B2B credit/debit note. B2C invoices never need an IRN.
What happens if I report an e-invoice too late?
Above a higher turnover threshold, the IRP rejects a document reported more than 30 days after its invoice date. A document that needed an IRN but never got one is not a valid tax invoice.
