E-Way Bill — The GST compliance document required for moving goods worth over ₹50,000 — generated on the GST portal, carried (physically or digitally) with the consignment.

Why it matters to your store

Not the courier's problem — it's yours. Interstate shipments over the threshold without an e-way bill can be detained and fined. Most sellers under ₹50k consignments never touch it.

This is the vocabulary every courier invoice, NDR report and rate card is written in — learn it once, save money forever.

Worked example

Bulk B2B shipment of ₹1.2 lakh Delhi→Jaipur → e-way bill generated → vehicle number linked → cleared through checks.

The bottom line

Shipping jargon is really just the billing manual in disguise — every term on this list maps to a line on an invoice or a lever on your margins. Pakka Parcel is built so you rarely have to think about it: statuses normalise, bills reconcile, and quotes already include the surcharges.
