1.    Why the transporter needs to enroll on the e-way bill system? There may be some transporters, who are not registered under the Goods and Services Tax Act, but such transporters cause the movement of goods for their clients. They need to enroll on the e-way bill portal to get 15 digit Unique Transporter Id.

2.    What is TRANSIN or Transporter ID?

TRANSIN or Transporter id is 15 digit unique number generated by EWB systemfor unregistered transporter, once he enrolls on the system which is similar to GSTIN format and is based on state code, PAN and Check sum digit. This TRANSIN or Transporter id can be shared by transporter with his clients, who may enter this number while generating e-waybills for assigning goods to him for transportation.

3.    How does the unregistered transporter get his unique id or transporter id?

The transporter is required to provide the essential information for enrolment on the EWB portal. The transporter id is created by the EWB system after furnishing the requisite information. The details of information to be furnished is available in the user manual.

4.    I am unable to enroll as transporter as the system is saying ‘PAN details are not validated’?

This is indicating that PAN name and Number, entered by you, are not getting validated by the CBDT/ Income Tax system. Please enter exact name and number as in income tax database.

This is indicating that Aadhaar Number, name in Aadhaar and mobile number, entered by you, are not getting validated by the Aadhaar system. Please enter correct details. However, the Aadhaar number is not must for enrolment process and the person can enrol giving his PAN Number also.

6.    Whenever, I am trying to enroll as transporter, the system is saying you are already registered under GST system and go and register using that GSTIN.

This is indicating that you are a registered taxpayer with valid GSTIN, since a validation is done on the PAN you have entered. You need not enroll again as transporter but use your GSTIN to register on eway bill portal.

7.    Whenever I am trying to enroll as a transporter, the system is saying you have already enrolled.

This is indicating that you have already enrolled on the e-way bill portal by providing your PAN, business and other details and created your username and password.
