FAQs
The e-Way Bill can be canceled by the generator of the EWB within 24 hours of generating the EWB.
In case e – way bill is generated but no movement of goods took place, it may be canceled within 24 hours from the time of its generation. However, if the same is not canceled within 24 hours, then the system would not allow the cancellation by the consignor. Therefore, in all these cases, one can request the recipient to Reject the e-Way Bill at his end in the common portal within 72 hours of its generation.

2. It is canceled by way of a request to recipient to whom the communication about the generation of EWB has been communicated by asking to reject such e way bill wrongly generated but before 72 hours of such EWB generation.
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.
