E-Way Bill – Consolidation, Rejection & Cancellation

An E-Way bill can be cancelled if it has been created in error or if the order has been cancelled by the recipient or if the goods are not being transported. In this article, we shall look at a few information related to the consolidation, rejection, and cancellation of an E-Way Bill.

Consolidation of E-Way Bill

Consolidated e-way bill is a document that comprises of multiple E-Way bills for multiple consignments which are being carried out in one transportation (goods vehicle). To be precise, transporter transporting multiple consignments of various consignors and consignees in one vehicle can generate and carry one consolidated e-way bill instead of carrying multiple e-way bills for those consignments. Hence, a transporter can create a consolidated e-way bills for movement of multiple consignments in one vehicle.

Rejection of E-way Bill

The transporter of goods can generate the e-way bill mentioning the details of other people as a recipient of goods. There is a pre-arrangement in the common portal for the other party to view the e-way bill generated against their respective GSTIN. One can communicate the acceptance or rejection of consignments of such nature, mentioned in the e-way bill. If the acceptance or rejection is not communicated within 72 hours from the time of e-way bill generation or the time of delivery of goods whichever is earlier, it would be considered acceptable.

Deletion of E-Way Bill

An E-Way Bill once generated cannot be deleted. However, it can be cancelled by the E-way bill (EWB) generator within 24 hours of generation. If a particular EWB has been verified by the concerned officer, then it cannot be cancelled. Further, the e-way bill could be canceled if either Good are not transported or they are not transported based on the details furnished in the e-way bill
