Who needs to register?
Every GST-registered person who will generate e-way bills, or act on e-way bills as a recipient or a registered transporter, needs a login on the E-Way Bill portal. Registration is a one-time process for each GSTIN. If you only need staff to use the portal, register the main account first and then create sub-users.
Not registered under GST and working as a transporter? Use transporter ID enrolment instead.
What you need
- Your GSTIN.
- The mobile number registered with your GST registration, because the OTP is sent there. Your business details are fetched from the GST records.
- A username and password you've decided on.
Step-by-step registration
- Open the official portal
Go to ewaybillgst.gov.in. Use the Registration menu and choose E-Way Bill Registration.
- Enter your GSTIN and captcha
Submit to fetch your business details from the GST records.
- Verify with OTP
Request the OTP and enter the code sent to the mobile registered with your GST registration.
- Check your details
The portal shows your business name, address and contact details from the GST system. If they're wrong or outdated, update them on the GST common portal first.
- Choose a username
Enter the username you want and check its availability. If it's taken, try a variation.
- Set your password and submit
Enter and confirm the password, then submit. Your E-Way Bill account is created.
Choosing a username and password
The portal displays the rules for usernames and passwords on the registration screen; follow what you see there. In practice:
- Usernames are commonly between 8 and 15 characters. Pick something you'll remember that isn't simply your GSTIN.
- Passwords should be at least 8 characters, ideally mixing upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols. They are case-sensitive.
- Write the username down somewhere safe. Most recovery requests are for forgotten usernames.
Your E-Way Bill username is separate from your GST portal username. Using the GST portal login on the E-Way Bill portal is one of the most common causes of “invalid username or password” errors.
Your first login and two-factor authentication
- Click Login on the official portal
Enter the new username, password and captcha.
- Complete the OTP step
Two-factor authentication is mandatory for all users. Enter the OTP from your chosen method.
- Set up your preferred OTP method
If SMS is unreliable where you work, switch to the Sandes or NIC-GST-Shield app. See the OTP guide.
- Explore the main menu
From here you can generate e-way bills, view reports and manage users.

Can I register on the E-Way Bill portal without a GSTIN?
Only transporters can, through transporter enrolment (Form GST ENR-01), which gives a Transporter ID. Suppliers and recipients need a GSTIN.
Can I have more than one login for my GSTIN?
There is one main login per GSTIN. For staff and branches, the main user creates sub-users with their own IDs and permissions.
