When is e-Way Bill registration required for unregistered transporters?
A Transporter is required to generate e- Way Bill if:

                                              OR

What is transporter ID?
Even if a transporter is unregistered, but the above limit of the value of goods is exceeding, the transporter has to generate e-Way Bills. Since he will not have a GSTIN, the concept of Transporter ID had been introduced.
Every unregistered transporter will be issued a Transporter ID, they will have to mention this ID on every e-Way Bill in place of GSTIN.
