An e-way bill is an electronic document that is required to be carried by a person in charge of the conveyance carrying any consignment of goods that are valued at more than INR 50,000 while they are being transported within India. The e-way bill is a way to track the movement of goods and to ensure that the appropriate taxes are being paid on them. The e-way bill system was introduced as part of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India, which is a comprehensive indirect tax on the supply of goods and services. The e-way bill system went into effect on April 1, 2018.

E-way bills can be generated on the e-way bill portal, which is available on the website of the National Informatics Centre (NIC).

To generate an e-way bill, you will need to have a valid GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). Here are the steps to generate an e-way bill:

1. Go to the e-way bill portal: https://ewaybill.nic.in/
2. Click on the "Generate new" tab.
3. Select the "Transporter ID" or "Transporter Name" if you are a transporter, or select "GSTIN of the Recipient" if you are a supplier.
4. Enter the GSTIN, document number, and document date of the invoice or bill of supply.
5. Select the reason for transport from the dropdown menu.
6. Enter the details of the vehicle in which the goods will be transported, including the vehicle number and the transporter ID (if applicable).
7. Enter the details of the goods being transported, including the HSN code, product description, and the value of the goods.
8. Click on the "Submit" button to generate the e-way bill.

You will receive an e-way bill number, which you can use to track the movement of the goods. You can also print the e-way bill or download it as a PDF.

So you can realise from the above information and steps, that it is not straight forward when it comes to generate e-way bill manually from the Govt. portal and many a times it is a time consuming thing to do it manually.
