A transporter who is not registered under the GST Portal can also register themselves on the e-Way Bill portal (EWB). They need to share their business details in order to register on the EWB portal. On successful registration on the EWB portal, the user receives the Transporter ID which is a 15-digit number. Along with the transporter ID, the user also receives their user credentials.
Steps to Register as a Transporter

Visit the e-Way Bill portal. Navigate to the “Registration” option on the dashboard and click on the “Enrolment for Transporters” option from the drop-down list.

We move to the application page. Select your State from the drop-down list and enter your legal name as per the PAN in the respective fields. Enter your PAN number and click on the “Validate” option.

Hey @ViraajAhuja47
Yes. All the registered persons under GST must register on the portal of e-way bill using their GSTIN. Once GSTIN is entered, the system sends an OTP to the registered mobile number, registered with GST Portal and after authenticating the same, the system enables you to generate your username and password for the e-way bill system.
After the generation of the username and password of your choice, you may proceed to make entries to generate an e-way bill.
Hope this helps!
Hey @TeamQuicko
How is the validity of the e-way bill calculated?
Hey @HarshitShah
The validity period of the e-Way Bill is calculated on the basis of ‘approx. distance’ entered while generating the e-Way Bill. For every 100 KM, one day is a validity period for the e-Way Bill as per rule and for part of 100 KM, one more day is added. For example, If approx. distance is 410KMs then the validity period is 4+1 days.
