How to generate e-way bill for goods already delivered??

This query is : Resolved 

06 February 2025 Whether we can generate e- way bill ? If Yes then how to generate e-way bill for goods already delivered??
(i.e my client has already delivered the goods by transport on 22/01/2025. but now they want to generate E-way bill please share the process )

12 August 2025 Can you generate an e-way bill after delivery?
Yes, you can generate an e-way bill even after goods are delivered — but it must be done within the validity period of the e-way bill.

Validity period:

For goods other than over-dimensional cargo, the e-way bill is valid for 1 day for every 100 km (or part thereof).

Beyond this, you cannot generate a new e-way bill after the delivery date plus validity.

If the delivery happened on 22 Jan 2025, and today is 6 Feb 2025, chances are the validity period has expired, and you cannot generate an e-way bill now.

What to do if you still want to generate?
If delivery is recent (within validity):

Go to the E-way Bill Portal: ewaybillgst.gov.in

Select "Generate New" e-way bill.

Enter the consignment details:

Invoice details

Transporter details

Vehicle number

Submit to generate the e-way bill.

What if the goods were delivered earlier and e-way bill was not generated?
Legally, an e-way bill must be generated before or during the movement of goods.

If it was missed, the supplier or transporter may face penalties during inspection.

For future compliance, ensure e-way bills are generated before movement.

In short:
You cannot generate an e-way bill long after delivery because the system restricts it based on validity.

If within validity, just generate as usual on the portal.

If expired, no option to generate for that consignment.

If your client wants to avoid penalties for this missed e-way bill, they should consult a GST expert or consider voluntary compliance or rectification procedures.
