Multi-Vehicle option in E-way Bill!

The E-way Bill System, implemented in April 2018, aimed to facilitate the seamless transportation of goods throughout the nation and transparency in GST data.

There are instances where a singular consignment must be divided into segments and transported via multiple vehicles due to logistical constraints, such as the inability of initial vehicles to reach their destinations. The concept of the Multi-Vehicle Option proposes the utilization of a single E-way Bill across multiple vehicles.

What is the multi-vehicle option in E-Way Bill?

This option allows consignment of one e-way bill to move in multiple vehicles. This option is used when the goods have moved to some place in a bigger vehicle and further it is not possible to move in the same mode of transport or vehicle. So, the goods are moved further in smaller vehicles.

For example, an e-way bill is generated and needs to be moved from A to C. Here, the consignment moves from A to B via Rail or a bigger vehicle. Now, it is not possible to move the consignment from B to C in the same mode of transportation due to the unavailability of that mode or may be due to hilly regions where big vehicles cannot be used. In such cases, the consignment needs to be moved into multiple smaller vehicles.

Therefore, there is an option on the E-Way bill portal to select a multi-vehicle option while generating an E-Way Bill for a single consignment.

How to select the multi-vehicle option on the E-way bill portal?

• First, generate the E-Way Bill with the source and destination as per the document /invoice.
• You can start the initial movement of the consignment up to the transhipment.
• Select the ‘Change to multiple E-way bill’ option in the Menu.
  

‍

• Enter E-way bill number for which multiple vehicle details is required and click ‘Go’.

‍

• Fill details below and click SUBMIT. Here, confirm for the multiple vehicles movement and enter the ‘from place’, ‘to place’, the quantity of the consignment, and the reason to go for multi-vehicle. Once it is submitted, the eway bill is changed to the multi-vehicle movement.
  Now, whenever the part of the consignment has to be moved, select the Update Vehicle option and select the group as shown below. The group is from place – to place. If for the movement, multiple ‘from place – to place’ has been entered, the system shows the details accordingly.
