FAQs
The e-way bill for transportation of goods should always have the vehicle number that is actually carrying the goods. There may be a requirement to change the vehicle number after generating the e-way bill or after the commencement of the movement of goods, due to trans-shipment or due to breakdown of the vehicle. In such cases, the transporter or generator of the e-way bill can update the new vehicle number in Part B of the EWB.
The authorized transporter can assign the e-way bill to any enrolled or registered transporter for further transportation of the goods. Subsequently, the new transporter can only update the Part-B of the EWB.
Some of the consignments are transported by the transporter through transshipment using different vehicles before it is delivered to the recipient at the place of destination.

Hey @ViraajAhuja47
Yes. All the registered persons under GST must register on the portal of e-way bill using their GSTIN. Once GSTIN is entered, the system sends an OTP to the registered mobile number, registered with GST Portal and after authenticating the same, the system enables you to generate your username and password for the e-way bill system.
After the generation of the username and password of your choice, you may proceed to make entries to generate an e-way bill.
Hope this helps!
Hey @TeamQuicko
How is the validity of the e-way bill calculated?
Hey @HarshitShah
The validity period of the e-Way Bill is calculated on the basis of ‘approx. distance’ entered while generating the e-Way Bill. For every 100 KM, one day is a validity period for the e-Way Bill as per rule and for part of 100 KM, one more day is added. For example, If approx. distance is 410KMs then the validity period is 4+1 days.
