The generator of the e-Way Bill can extend the validity period of the EWB. If the validity of the EWB expires, the goods are not to move from the location. The validity period of the EWB can be extended before four hours of expiry or within four hours after the expiry of EWB.
Steps to Extend Validity Period of EWB
- Visit the EWB portal
Visit the e-Way Bill Portal and log in to the account. Navigate to the “e-Way Bill” option and click on the “Extend Validity” option under the drop-down list.
- Enter the EWB number
Thus, enter the EWB number in the respective field and click on Go.
- Extension Form
Hence, the EWB form appears on the screen. Therefore, click on “Yes” against the question at the bottom of the screen asking for an extension on the EWB.
- Enter the required details
Therefore, re-enter the details such as:
1. Distance
2. Place of Dispatch
3. Place of Delivery
Hence, once the validity of EWB is extended, the new EWB number gets allotted in place of the old one.
FAQs
The validity of the e-way bill depends upon the distance the goods have to cover. In the case of regular vehicle or transportation modes, for every 100 KMs or part of its movement, one-day validity has been provided. Over Dimensional Cargo vehicles get one-day validity for every 20 KMs or part of its movement. This validity expires on the midnight of last day.
Taxpayers or transporters can view the list of e-Way Bills about to expire in a period of 4 days (From current date (T) to (T)-1, (T)+1, (T)+2). Therefore, to view the list, the user will have to Log into the e-Way Bill portal and navigate through the menu to reach the Reports, → My e-way → E-way bills about to expire.
The goods are not to move if the EWB expires. However, under certain circumstances of “exceptional nature and trans-shipment,” the transporter may extend the validity period after updating reason for the extension and details in Part B of form GST EWB-01.
The transporter, who is carrying the consignment as per the e-way bill system at the time of expiry of the validity period, can extend the validity period.
The following examples provide an explanation:
1. Suppose an e-way bill is generated at 00:04 hrs. on 14th March. Then the first day would end from 12:00 midnight of 15 -16 March. The second day will end at 12:00 midnight of 16 -17 March and so on.
2. Suppose an e-way bill is generated at 23:58 hrs. on 14th March. Then the first day would end on 12:00 midnight of 15 -16 March. The second day will end at 12:00 midnight of 16 -17 March and so on.
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.
