The National Informatics Centre, E-Waybill System issued Advisory dated November 10, 2023 on verification of transporter Id (TRANSIN) in e-Waybills.
We have received queries/clarifications from some transporters and taxpayers regarding the verification of transporter Id in the e-waybill system. There are 3 categories of transporters in the e-Waybill System. They are:
- GST registered Transporters: In this category, the transporter gets registered in the GST Common portal and obtains a GSTIN number.
- Enrolled transporters: In this category, there are small transporters who want to do transport business but are not registered in GST Common portal and do not have the GST number. So, the transporter enrols himself in the e-waybill portal based on the PAN and obtains a TRANSIN that looks similar to a GSTIN number. They are called as Enrolled transporters.
- Common enrolled transporters: This is the third category of transporters. They are normal GST registered transporters having multiple GSTINs across different states. Such transporters move consignments with e-waybills which passes through multiple states. This involves transhipments and updating of transporter Id of the respective state for the e-waybills.
