As per Rule 138 of the CGST Rules 2017, Generation of E-way Bill is mandatory when your Consignment Value exceeds Rs. 50,000 and the goods are being transported via Motorised Vehicle.
Therefore if your Consignment Value exceeds Rs. 50,000, then the registered person needs to generate E-Way Bill.
The E-Way Bill can be prepared by the Consignor ( Supplier ) or incase where the Consignor is Un-Registered, the Consignee is required to furnish information in PART A of FORM GST EWB-01. PART B which contains the the descripttion of mode of transport is required to be generated by the Transporter. Note that even the Transporter can generate E-Way Bill ( i.e. fill both Part A & Part B ).
But incase when the goods are being transported by Railways, the E-way Bill shall be prepared by the registered person being the supplier or recipient, who shall furnish on the common portal :
(a). The information in Part B.
(b). The serial number and date of Railway Receipt.
NOTE : Rule 138(14) of the CGST Act 2017 specifies certain transaction, goods on which generation of E-way Bill is not required. Some of them are Transportation of Exempted Goods ( Notification No. 02/2017 - CT(R), dated 28.06.2017, Transportation of Alcoholic liquor for human consumption, Transportation of Empty Cargo Containers, Goods specified in Annexure ( like jewellery, coral, pearls, personal and household goods etc ) etc.
