E-Way Bill Limit and State-Wise Thresholds
For inter-state movement, an e-way bill is needed when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000. For movement within a state, each state notifies its own limit, which may be ₹50,000 or higher, and some states set separate limits for movement within a city. Check your state's notification for the current figure.

The ₹50,000 rule
Rule 138(1) of the CGST Rules requires an e-way bill before goods are moved when the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000. This applies across India to inter-state movement. Some movements need an e-way bill whatever the value, such as inter-state movement from a principal to a job worker. See when an e-way bill is required.
How consignment value is calculated
- It is the value of the goods as declared in the invoice, bill of supply or delivery challan, determined under Section 15 of the CGST Act.
- It includes CGST, SGST/UTGST, IGST and cess charged on the goods.
- It excludes the value of exempt supplies when the invoice covers both exempt and taxable goods.
- The threshold is checked per consignment (document), not per vehicle. A vehicle with several consignments under ₹50,000 each may not need e-way bills for them, subject to state rules.
Inter-state vs intra-state
| Movement | Threshold | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Inter-state (between states) | Consignment value above ₹50,000 | CGST Rules: same across India |
| Intra-state (within one state) | As notified by the state | Each state or union territory |
State-wise intra-state thresholds
States change their intra-state limits from time to time, and many published lists are out of date. We only show a figure where we could find a dated source, and even then you should confirm it with the state's commercial tax department before relying on it.

Why we don't list a number for every state: many websites copy old tables. A wrong limit can lead to goods being detained. If your state isn't confirmed here, check its notification or the “state-wise rules” information on the official E-Way Bill portal, or ask your tax adviser. If you have an official notification we've missed, please send it to us.
