10 June 2026 If due to any reason, I could not prepare/issue e way bill against a sale before 20 days. What is the solution. The said sale bill is already shown in my GSTR 3B return. May I issue eway bill now ? What will be the consequences ?

10 June 2026 The e-way bill is for the physical transit of goods, and since the movement is already complete, you cannot retroactively "fix" the missing document through the portal. Generating an e-way bill now may create an audit trail showing the lapse in compliance. Because you have already correctly reported the sale in your GSTR-3B, you have fulfilled the primary tax liability. Your immediate priority should be to consult a tax expert to document the oversight internally and ensure all future dispatches are strictly compliant to avoid potential scrutiny.
