In India, implementing the e-way bill system has been a major step towards ensuring transparency and accountability in the movement of goods across states. Under this system, businesses must generate an e-way bill for the transportation of goods worth over a certain threshold value. However, different states in the country have different threshold limits for the e-way bill system. Let’s look at the threshold limit for every state.
This article summarises the intrastate e-way bill threshold limits for every state:

These limits have provided relief to small and medium-sized businesses by reducing the compliance burden and improving the ease of doing business.
However, it is crucial to monitor and adjust these limits periodically to maintain a balance between revenue generation and ease of doing business. Overall, the state-wise threshold limits for E-way bills have contributed to simplifying the tax system and facilitated the movement of goods across the country.
