Tamil Nadu has exempted Tirupur exporters from generating e-way bills.
No e-way bill is needed for transport consignments carrying goods under a lakh of rupees. The list of textile goods exempted from the e-way billing includes hank yarn, job work and services related to yarn, fabric and garment.

The knitwear hub of India produces garments worth Rs 42,000 crores annually thanks to support from job working units.

Before the packaging process takes place, the product goes around from one place to another, five to six times for preliminary processes like knitting, dyeing, compacting, printing, and ironing, etc, to ensure the best is shipped.

The e-way bill was made compulsory for textile deliveries under the Goods and Services Tax introduced in July. Under GST, transporters will need to carry an electronic waybill or e-way bill when moving goods from one place to another. A movement of goods of more than Rs 50,000 in value cannot be made by a registered person without an e-way bill.

The exemption rate has been increased from Rs 50,000 to Rs 1 lakh. Various tools used in the textile industry and raw materials have been exempt as well.

States like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar do not allow goods without an e-way bill.
