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.

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.
