Chandigarh: the rule within the state
- Within Chandigarh an e-way bill is needed when the consignment value (GST included) exceeds ₹50,000.
- Gold, precious stones and jewellery: the state has not mandated an e-way bill under Rule 138F, so none is needed within the state.
- Between Chandigarh and any other state the central rule applies: an e-way bill above ₹50,000, and at any value for job work and exempt-artisan handicrafts.
