The key benefit is that the Cross verification of bills will be easy
due to single format across India unlike earlier, where each state
government prescribed its own format. This would ensure
1) Keeping the tax department informed and acknowledgement number obtainment for shipping of the goods,
2) Mutual acceptance from both the consignor and the consignee, for the shipment to be shipped.
3) That the shipment in-charge carries the invoice or bill along with the allocated E- Way Bill number.

3.) Invoice Number,
4.) Quantity,
5.) Invoice date,
6.) Value of goods,
