E-way bill validity period
The approximate distance between the supplier’s position and the recipient’s location determines the validity of an e-way bill, not the distance between the transporter’s location and the recipient’s location.
E-way bill distance limit
When calculating the distance from the point of dispatch to the delivery end, the MAP functionality can be used to estimate the distance travelled.
Currently, while creating an e-way bill online, a distance of up to 4,000 kilometres can be entered in the distance area.
Because there are more than 4,000 kilometres between Kanyakumari and Shimla, a person wishing to transport products there will be unable to produce an eWay Bill.
However, even though the distance is above 4,000 miles, it shouldn’t be a problem, provided the items can be delivered within the validity time.
The validity time for EWB is often extended by one day for every 200 kilometres and by an additional day for each segment of 200 kilometres.
For example, the validity period is 1+1 days if the distance is nearly 310 kilometres.
How to determine the validity of E-way bill
The products must be moved within the specified time period specified in the created e-Way bill, which is as follows:
| Type of Conveyance | Distance |
| In the event that the cargo is not overly dimensional | 1 day for any trip up to 200 km, and an extra day for every subsequent 200 km, or portion thereof, after that |
| When dealing with oversize cargo | 1 day for any distance up to 20 km, and an extra day for every additional 20 km, or portion thereof, after that |
Extending the E-way bill’s validity period
The validity term may be extended if the products cannot be carried by the e-way bill’s expiration date.
Only the current assigned transporter of the e-way bill has the authority to extend the validity or the supplier if the transport is outsourced.
When the validity term expires, the transporter carrying the cargo per the e-way bill system may extend the validity period.
Factors for extending the validity of E-way Bill
The e-way bill’s validity period may need to be extended for a variety of reasons, including:
- Any modifications to the transport vehicle
- Breaking down
- Any additional factor that causes a delay in the shipment of vehicles.
