What is Transporter ID and its Enrolment Procedure?

What is a Transporter ID?

Transporter ID is a 15-digit number created by the e-way bill system for transporters not registered under GST. You acquire an ID, like GSTIN, through the State code, PAN, and check-sum digit. Transporters who register for GST will receive a GSTIN, which they can use to log onto the e-way bill system. Small transporters who do not have a GSTIN can register on the e-way bill portal to obtain a Transport ID. It will help them adhere to the e-way bill regulations when transporting goods. All transporters must produce an e-way bill if:

• The whole consignment amount or the value of the items from a single supplier exceeds Rs. 50,000. The total value of all the items transported in a single vehicle exceeds Rs. 50,000.
• We introduce a unique ID system because transporters without a GSTIN do not possess it.

Procedure to Generate the Transporter ID

Transporters must sign up on the e-way bill portal to obtain an ID number, which they need to create an e-way bill. The following steps discuss the process of generating a transporter ID:

Step 1: Go to the E-way bill portal and log in to your account. 

Step 2: Under the Registration button, select enrolment for Transporters

Step 3: The system will redirect you to a new page that displays the enrolment application form.

You need to fill nine sections to gain a transporter ID. These sections include:

• Name of the State
• The second part divides the section into three parts.
  • Legal name
  • Trade name
  • Personal account number (PAN)
• The third section includes the enrollment type. The enrolment options are:
  • Warehouse or Depot
  • Godown
  • Transportation services
  • Cold storage

• Next is the business constitution. You are supposed to specify the type of business which you wish to generate a transporter ID for, such as an LLP, a private limited company, a public limited company, a foreign corporation, a partnership firm, a sole proprietorship, or another business structure (HUF, AOP, BOI and so on).

• The following is the business structure. You need to define the kind of business you want to create a transporter ID, such as following the business structure. The next section of the enrollment form requires the transporter to list three requirements:
  •  Principal Business Location
  • Contact information
  • Whether the place is shared, consented to, leased, rented, owned, or in another capacity.

• The transporter must provide a special User ID and password in this Transporter’s ID registration form area. It should be mentioned that the transporter can check to see if the user ID has been taken using the Check Button.
• The transporter must check the information by clicking the check button after providing all the necessary information.

• Create a new, distinctive username and password. By choosing Check, you may determine whether the username you want to set is already in use or not.
• Check the box next to the affirmation that the information you have provided is accurate, then click Save.

Step 4: When a transporter signs up, they get a unique 15-digit number from the EWB system. The transporter will receive this transporter ID after confirming all the information. To change the information in PART-B of the e-Way Bill, the transporter must notify the consignor and consignee.

A Change of Mode of Conveyance During Transit

Before moving products, a transporter needs to update the information on the e-way bill for the new vehicle. The user created the e-way bill on the e-way bill portal using form EWB-01.

A Situation of Transhipment of Goods

The term transhipment refers to the switching of a good’s mode of goods or vehicle during transit. The person transporting goods can update the vehicle number on the e-way bill for the car carrying the goods.

The seller or carrier listed in Part A of the e way bill can change the vehicle number as many times as needed. The E-way bill portal also allows switching or reassigning a transporter for an E-way bill. The seller may no longer use this option if the initially assigned transporter reassigns another transporter in his place.
