Dear Sir,
since vehicle breakdown- goods are not transported The e-way bill can be cancelled within 24 hours from the time of generation.
E way bill be must accompany Invoice . you cannot raise the e-way bill after 10 days.

Great question!
Under the **GST e-way bill rules**, here’s what applies regarding the **time limit to generate an e-way bill after issuing an invoice**:
---
### Key points:
1. **E-way bill must be generated before the movement of goods starts** for inter/intra-state transport if the value of consignment exceeds ₹50,000.
2. **There is no specific statutory time limit that says e-way bill must be generated immediately after invoicing** — but it must be generated **before the goods start moving**.
3. If goods have already started moving **without an e-way bill**, it is a violation and may attract penalties.
4. If the vehicle breaks down **before movement starts**, you can generate the e-way bill **only when the goods are ready to be moved** again.
5. Once generated, an e-way bill can be **cancelled within 24 hours** if unused.
---
### So for your case:
* Since the vehicle broke down and goods were not transported, you **cannot generate an e-way bill 10 days after invoicing if goods were already moved or dispatched earlier**.
* But if goods were **not dispatched yet**, you can generate the e-way bill **anytime before starting the movement**.
---
### Summary:
| Scenario | E-way Bill Generation Timing |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Goods ready and movement starts | E-way bill must be generated before movement |
| Vehicle breakdown before movement | Generate e-way bill only when movement restarts |
| Delay in generating e-way bill after movement started | Not allowed, penalty applicable |
