Eway bill amendment in catastrophe

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses a technical query regarding Eway bill amendments when a consignment is delayed due to landslides. The user's truck carrying goods to Himachal Pradesh became stuck just 25km from its destination due to road blockages. Given the ongoing crisis and potential for restricted movement, the advice suggests that no Eway bill amendment is necessary. Instead, the vehicle should remain stationary, and the transporter should bear the associated charges, as this is a common scenario in interstate transport during such events.

29 May 2021 Now since the movement might be restricted, there might be situation that movement might be restricted. Since under those circumstances and it being a situation of crisis, you might not have any remedy other than to station the vehicle at the place where it has reached and continue to bear charges. This situation might be peculiar in interstate transport of goods as in most cases movement within the state is permitted, hence should not be an issue.
No need for amendment.
