Introduction

A consolidated e-way bill is generated whenever the supplier feels the need to transport multiple consignments of goods in a single vehicle. In other words, if a single vehicle is transporting multiple consignments belonging to the same supplier, there is no need to deal with separate e-way bills for each consignment, but rather a consolidated e-way bill may be generated. This will not only make things simple for the supplier, but also for the transporter, who will then need to carry a single document.
