Can I extend the validity of my E-Way Bill? If so, when can I do that?

Yes, the validity of an e-Way Bill can be extended if the consignment does not reach its destination within the specified validity period due to exceptional circumstances such as natural calamities, law and order issues, delays in trans-shipment, or accidents involving the conveyance. The transporter must provide a detailed explanation of these reasons when requesting an extension of the validity period.

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.
