Is there a limit to extending the validity of e-way bills?

Yes, starting January 1, 2025, e-way bills cannot be extended beyond 360 days from the date of generation.

Extension Eligibility: If, on the day of extension, the difference between the current validity date and the e-way bill generation date exceeds 360 days, the extension cannot be processed.

Limiting the Validity Period: If, on the date of extension, the difference between the current date and the e-way bill generation date is less than 360 days, but extending it results in a validity period exceeding 360 days, the new validity date will be limited to 360 days.

For example, an e-way bill generated on December 28, 2023, is being extended on December 17, 2024. After 355 days, if the remaining distance is 2000 KM, the new validity date will be limited to 360 days, which would be December 22, 2024.
