Unregistered persons can now generate e-Way Bill for GST compliance; Step-by-step guide on how to file ENR-03 on E-Way Bill portal

The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has introduced a new feature in the E-Way Bill (EWB) portal wherein unregistered persons (URPs) can generate an e-Way Bill without taking out a GST registration. This feature has been enabled from February 11, 2025 and requires filing of ENR-03 form. Under GST rules no goods over Rs 50,000 value can be transported if the corresponding e-Way Bill is generated. GST officials can seize both the transport vehicle and the goods if a valid e-Way is not generated for transporting the goods.

"Earlier if there were no registered buyers or sellers in the transaction where the taxable value of goods are above Rs 50,000, the transporter would had to create the E-way Bill or one of the parties had to register for GST to generate it. Now this requirement is done away with effect from February 11, 2025," says Chartered Accountant Bimal Jain, founder, A2Z Taxcorp LLP.

GSTN Advisory about filing ENR-03Source: GSTN Advisory

Jain says this will help unregistered buyers or sellers by getting a temporary registration for the sole purpose of generating an e-Way Bill. "In practical scenarios most transporters were reluctant to generate an E-Way Bill if both the buyers and sellers were unregistered. Now this won't be a problem. The impact of this new functionality will be useful for those un-registered persons who run any business but their turnover is yet to cross the threshold required for GST registration. This will also help the government better track the movement of goods thereby making India more a much more formalised economy."
