Under GST, all registered persons who intend to initiate the movement of goods of value exceeding Rs. 50,000 should generate an e-Way Bill.  The E-Way Bill needs to be generated in Form GST EWB-01 in the GSTN portal.  The GST E-way bill format is categorized into 2 parts – PART-A and PART-B as shown below.

PART-A of GST E-Way Bill Format

The Part A of E-Way Bill in Form EWB-01 aims to collect the details of consignment, usually the invoice details. Accordingly, the following details need to be captured.
