Consolidated E Way Bill under GST: Introduction & Uses

As per our previous article E-Way Bill: Introduction we have an basic idea of about what is E-Way Bill. But if you are an customer and you are moving your own stuff from one place to another? Or you have a transportation business and you are sending multiple consignments on a single vehicle to be time saving and cost effective. How to Deal with it?



Well, all you need to know about is Consolidated E Way Bill.


Consolidated e-way bill is a document containing the multiple e-way bills for multiple consignments being carried in one conveyance (goods vehicle). That is, the transporter,carrying multiple consignments of various consignors and consignees in one vehicle can generate and carry one consolidated e-way bill instead of carrying multiple e-way bills for those consignments. 

Consolidated EWB is like a trip sheet and it contains details of different EWBs in respect of various consignments being transported in one vehicle and these EWBs will have different validity periods. 

Hence, Consolidated EWB does not have any independent validity period. However, individual consignment specified in the Consolidated EWB should reach the destination as per the validity period of the individual EWB.

A transporter can generate the consolidated e-way bills for movement of multiple consignments in one vehicle. 

Consolidated EWB is like a trip sheet and it contains details of different EWBs in respect of various consignments being transported in one vehicle and these EWBs will have different validity periods.

Hence, Consolidated EWB does not have any independent validity period. However, individual consignment specified in the Consolidated EWB should reach the destination as per the validity period of the individual EWB.

What if you are loading your goods from one place to another using 2 or more vehicles from one place to another. Lets say, you are sending your goods from Place A to Place D. In between you are using different vehicles. Like you used Vehicle #1 for Travelling from A to B. Then you have changed your vehicle at B to reach final Destination at D with all one consignment? Or what if you have different location consignments?
Well, there is an option available under the ‘Consolidated EWB’ menu as ‘regenerate CEWB’. This option allows you to change the vehicle number to existing Consolidated EWB, without changing the individual EWBs. This generates a new CEWB, which has to be carried with new vehicle. Old CEWB will become invalid for use. 

For different location consignments, the consolidated e-way bill can have the goods or e-way bills which will be delivered to multiple locations as per the individual EWB included in the CEWB. That is, if the CEWB is generated with 10 EWBs to move 3 consignments to destination A and 7 consignments to destination B, then on the way the transporter can deliver 3 consignments to destination A out of 10 and move with remaining 7 consignments to the destination b with the same CEWB. Alternatively, two CEWB can be generated one for 3 consignments for destination A and another CEWB for 7 consignments for destination B.
