E-Way Bill Integration with Fleetable
TMS-Stay Compliant Without the Headache
Managing e-way bills shouldn’t feel like navigating a maze. Fleetable TMS brings full e-way bill integration directly into your workflow through secure APIs—so you can generate, extend, consolidate, and cancel bills without constantly logging into the GST portal. Stay Rule 138 compliant while actually getting work done.
What's an E-Way Bill, Really?
Here’s the deal: Under Section 68 of the GST Act and Rule 138, any goods shipment worth over ₹50,000 needs an e-way bill—whether you’re moving stuff within a state or across state lines.
Before your truck hits the road, someone (the supplier, recipient, or transporter) must generate this bill on the GST portal and add the vehicle number. Miss this step? You’re looking at truck detentions and penalties up to ₹10,000.
Validity starts simple: You get one day for every 200km traveled, with extensions available when genuine delays happen (traffic jams, breakdowns, you name it).
Real-world example: Your Delhi-to-Mumbai truck covering 1,400km gets 7 days of validity. But if you hit unexpected traffic and can’t extend quickly, you’re in trouble.
Who Actually Generates These Bills?
Registered businesses: If you’re the consignor or consignee handling supply, or receiving from unregistered parties, it’s on you.
Transporters: You can update vehicle details or generate bills using your 15-digit Transporter ID—even if you’re unregistered.
With Fleetable, assigning these tasks becomes straightforward. Your operations team inputs the data, dispatch updates vehicle information, and everyone stays in sync.
