E-Way Bill Limit by State: All 36 States and UTs

E-way bill limits by state: the whole table, and the seven that are not ₹50,000

Inter-state movement of goods above ₹50,000 needs an e-way bill everywhere in India, so the only question a state table answers is what applies when the goods never leave the state. For most states that is ₹50,000 as well, because they never notified a separate figure. Seven did, and they are the ones worth reading closely: Bihar, Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Tamil Nadu apply ₹1,00,000, Rajasthan applies two tiers, and West Bengal halved its limit to ₹50,000 in June 2026. Three more sit outside the threshold model entirely — Jammu & Kashmir and Kerala do not require an intra-state bill for ordinary goods at all, and Gujarat, Goa and Chhattisgarh require one only for notified categories. Each entry below carries the notification behind it.

Frequently asked questions

Which states have an intra-state e-way bill limit above ₹50,000?

Bihar, Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Seven of those use ₹1,00,000; Rajasthan uses ₹1,00,000 between cities and ₹2,00,000 for movement inside a single city. West Bengal was in this group until 31 May 2026 and moved to ₹50,000 on 1 June 2026, which is why older tables still list it at ₹1 lakh.

Are there states with no intra-state e-way bill requirement?

Yes. Jammu & Kashmir does not require one for movement that begins and ends in the UT at any value. Kerala does not require one for ordinary goods at any value, though gold, precious metals and jewellery above ₹10 lakh have needed one since 20 January 2025. Gujarat, Goa and Chhattisgarh require one only for notified categories of goods rather than for everything above a value.

Does the state limit apply to inter-state movement?

No. Inter-state movement is tested at ₹50,000 under Rule 138(1) everywhere in India, regardless of the origin or destination state and regardless of either state’s intra-state threshold. A ₹90,000 consignment inside Maharashtra needs nothing; the same ₹90,000 sent to Gujarat needs a bill. This is the single most common way state thresholds are misapplied.

How is the state for e-way bill purposes decided?

By where the movement begins and ends, not by where the invoice was raised or where the buyer is registered. If both the dispatch PIN and the destination PIN are in one state, that state’s intra-state rule applies. If they are in different states, the national ₹50,000 rule applies and neither state’s intra-state figure is relevant.

How do I find the distance the portal will use?

Generate the e-way bill and read the PIN-to-PIN distance the portal computes between the dispatch and destination PIN codes. That figure, not the road distance your transporter quotes, is what sets validity — one day per 200 km or part thereof. The calculator on this site converts a distance into validity days.

Do these thresholds change often?

They change by state notification, without a central announcement, and the change takes effect on a date set in the notification itself. West Bengal moved in June 2026 and Bihar moved in January 2019; both are still widely reported at their previous figures. Each page here cites the notification and its effective date so the figure can be checked rather than trusted.
