Transporters who are not registered under GST<\/strong> still need to be identifiable on the e-way bill system. For this, they enrol on the e-way bill portal and get a Transporter ID (TRANSIN)<\/strong> \u2014 a 15-digit number used in place of a GSTIN on e-way bills. This guide explains what it is and how to generate it.<\/p>\n

What is a Transporter ID (TRANSIN)?<\/h2>\n

A TRANSIN<\/strong> is a 15-digit unique ID issued to an unregistered transporter who enrols on the e-way bill portal. Consignors\/consignees enter this ID on the e-way bill<\/a> so the transporter can update vehicle details and move goods. GST-registered transporters simply use their GSTIN and don’t need a separate TRANSIN.<\/p>\n

Who needs a Transporter ID?<\/h2>\n

A transporter whose turnover is below the GST threshold (and who is therefore not registered) but who moves goods for others needs to enrol to get a TRANSIN, so they can be part of the e-way bill workflow (e.g., updating Part-B \/ vehicle number).<\/p>\n
