Last updated on: March 20, 2026 | ⏱ 5 min read

Is it mandatory to provide the Vehicle Number in e-Way Bills and e-Invoices?

As per GST rules, when the Transporter ID is provided in e-Way Bills and e-Invoices, then the Vehicle Number need not be provided.

This rule has been implemented in TallyPrime Release 3.0. Thereby, if your e-Way Bills or e-Invoices contain the Transporter ID but not the Vehicle Number, they will be recorded seamlessly, without going into Uncertain Transactions.

My total item value does not match the taxable and tax value of that item. Is there any relaxation provided for this?

Currently, NIC has provided relaxations for e-Invoices and e-Way Bills. The notifications are available in the below links:
