- Description of goods
- Value of goods
- Origin and destination
- Names of the consignor (sender) and consignee (receiver)
- Transporter details (if applicable)
Why is an eWay Bill Important?

- Simplified movement of goods: eWay Bills eliminate the need for physical waybills, making the transportation process smoother and faster.
- Improved visibility: With eWay Bills, you can track the movement of your goods in real-time, enhancing transparency and efficiency.
