Free e-way bill validity calculator
Under Rule 138(10) of the CGST Rules, an e-way bill is valid for one day for every 200 km (or part of it) of distance, or one day per 20 km for over-dimensional cargo. A 'day' ends at midnight of the day after the e-way bill is generated, so a bill made at any time today for 1 day expires at 11:59 pm tomorrow.
