Changing the vehicle number in an E-way bill is done if you still need to add it while generating the bill or when the vehicle breaks down, and the shipment takes place in a new vehicle with a different number. Here are the steps to change the vehicle number in E way bill:

  1. Open the webpage and log into the e-way bills portal. Make sure you are adding the correct credentials.
  2. You will see many options on the webpage, including ‘update vehicle number.’ Select that option and proceed.
  3. A new page will open, and you will see two options on that webpage. These options will have an e-way bill number and generated date to choose from.
  4. After choosing your preferred option, you must provide the details according to your need.
  5. Once you fulfill the blanks on this page and proceed further, you will be directed to a new page where you have to fill out a form. This form includes your vehicle number, the reason for modification of the vehicle number, and your place.
  6. When this form is filled out and submitted, you will receive a new and updated bill. You should take a printout of the same if the details are correct now.

Note: This process can be done by either the GST taxpayer or the transporter. Also, if the mode of transportation is changing to generate a new e-way bill, one must mention the transporter document number.
