Do I need to cancel the e-Way Bill if the vehicle breaks down?

There is no need to cancel the e-Way Bill if the vehicle breaks down. The transporter can repair the vehicle and continue the journey with the same e-Way Bill.

If the vehicle needs to be changed, the transporter must update the new vehicle details in Part B of the e-Way Bill on the e-Way Bill portal using the Update Vehicle Number option. The e-Way Bill remains valid after updating the new vehicle details, as long as it is within the original validity period.

Insight: Unexpected circumstances, such as natural disasters or accidents, can sometimes delay transportation beyond the e-Way Bill validity period. To address these situations, the e-Way Bill portal offers an option to extend the validity of e-Way bills.

Here’s how you can extend the validity of e-Way bills in Zoho Books:

Go to the e-Way Bills module on the left sidebar.
Select the status filter as Generated. Locate the e-Way Bill that needs its validity extended.
Click the Extend e-Way Bill button.
In the Extend Validity page, enter the Consignment Type, Vehicle Number, Current Place, Current Pincode, Current State, Approximate Distance, Extend Reason, and other required details.
Once the details are submitted, the new expiry time will be calculated, and these details will be updated in Zoho Books.

Notes: The option is available for Generated and Expired e-Way bills, as the validity of the EWB can be extended before 8 hours and after 8 hours of expiry of the validity.
