How to Generate E-way Bills in Bulk?

 

Large-scale corporate organisations or logistic operators who manage numerous shipments across the nation in a single day would prefer a simple and time-saving system that allows them to generate the necessary e-way bills or update vehicle information with a single file upload. Using the bulk e-way bill production feature on the e-way bills site will enable you to do this. 

 

Users who have to generate many e-way bills, consolidate several e-way bills, or update multiple e-way bills simultaneously by a single upload use the bulk e-way bill option. This article outlines the step-by-step procedure for creating consolidated or bulk e-way bills on the e-way bill portal.

  1. You should be registered on the e-way bill portal

  2. You should be in possession of an invoice/bill/challan related to the shipment of goods. 

  3. You should have a valid Transporter ID or vehicle number when transporting by road.

  4. In the case of transporting through rail, air, or ship, you should have a transporter ID, a Transporter document number, and a valid date on the document. 

  5. The taxpayer must have all the individual e-way bill numbers of the goods to be transported in one conveyance.

  6. You need to possess the EWB JSON template, EWB bulk converter, or the excel sheet template and update the information between points 2 to 4.
