Invoices made in Tally or other billing software
Your accounts stay where they are. You only bring the finished invoice PDF into the app to raise the e-way bill.
App feature · Import PDF
Turn an invoice PDF into an e-way bill
Already made the GST invoice in Tally or another billing tool? Import the PDF in the E-Way Easy app, review the details it reads, and generate the e-way bill without typing the invoice again.
What happens
From PDF to e-way bill number in four steps
Import PDF sits on the app dashboard. The app reads your invoice, puts the details on the e-way bill review screen and waits for you. Nothing is filed until you tap Generate.
Upload the invoice PDF
Tap Import PDF on the dashboard and choose the GST invoice PDF you already have on your phone.
The app reads the invoice
It picks up the buyer, buyer GSTIN, items, HSN codes and invoice totals from the PDF.
You review and correct
Check every field, fix anything read wrongly and fill in anything the PDF did not contain, such as vehicle details.
Tap Generate
The e-way bill is filed on the official e-way bill system and the e-way bill number is shown in the app.

During review
What to check before you tap Generate
An e-way bill cannot be edited once generated. If Part A is wrong, the usual fix is to cancel it within 24 hours and generate a new one, so a minute of checking here saves real trouble later.
Buyer GSTIN
One wrong character points the e-way bill at a different business. Match it with the buyer’s registration, not just the PDF.
HSN codes
Confirm each item’s HSN code was read correctly. Not sure of a code? Use the free HSN code lookup.
Invoice value and tax
Taxable value, GST and total should match the invoice exactly. Watch for rounding and discounts.
PIN codes and distance
Distance is filled from the PIN codes, so a wrong PIN means a wrong distance and validity. See the e-way bill distance rules.
Bill To / Ship To
When goods go to a different place from the billing address, make sure the delivery address and PIN are the Ship To details.
Dispatch From
If goods leave from a godown or another unit rather than your registered address, set the Dispatch From location.

When it helps
Made the invoice already? Don’t type it twice
Import PDF is for businesses whose invoices come from a separate billing system. If you would rather make the invoice in the app itself, the regular Invoice → Review EWB → Generated flow does that.
Retyping is where mistakes start
Copying the GSTIN, HSN and value by hand from one screen to another is how mismatches between invoice and e-way bill happen.
Dispatch away from the desk
The invoice PDF reaches your phone on WhatsApp or email; you can raise the e-way bill from the godown or the gate.
Occasional e-way bills
No subscription: you pay 5 credits only for an e-way bill that is generated successfully.
After generation
Your e-way bill, ready to share
Once generated, the e-way bill number appears in the app. Download the e-way bill PDF and share it with the driver or buyer on WhatsApp or email, or print it.
If the vehicle changes later, or you need to cancel or extend, those actions are in the app too. See the e-way bill management features.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I generate an e-way bill directly from an invoice PDF?
Yes, in the E-Way Easy Android app. Use Import PDF, choose your GST invoice PDF, and the app reads the buyer, GSTIN, items, HSN codes and totals. You review and correct the details, add anything missing, then tap Generate. The e-way bill is filed on the official e-way bill system and the number is shown in the app.
Do I still need to check the details after importing the PDF?
Always. The imported data is a starting point, not a final answer. Check the buyer GSTIN, HSN codes, invoice value, PIN codes, Bill To / Ship To and Dispatch From before you generate. You are responsible for what is filed, and an e-way bill cannot be edited after generation.
Will it work with invoices made in Tally or other billing software?
That is the main use: you already have the invoice as a PDF from your billing software and do not want to type it again. Clear, computer-generated PDFs usually read best. Scanned copies, handwritten bills or unusual layouts may need more corrections during review.
What does it cost to generate an e-way bill from a PDF?
Generating an e-way bill costs 5 credits (1 credit = ₹1) from your wallet. Credits are taken only when the e-way bill is generated successfully; if the portal rejects it, the credits go back to your wallet automatically.
Does the app read anything other than the PDF I choose?
No. It reads only the invoice PDF you select for import. It does not scan your phone, email or other files.
