2. Select the transaction and press F9 (Extend EWB).
3. In the e-Way Bill Extension Details screen, enter the Remaining Distance (in KM).
   The validity of e-Way Bill will depend on the value entered here.

4. Press Ctrl+A to save.

Now, you can send the transaction for e-Way Bill extension using the Exchange menu.

Questions & Answers

• Is there any validity period for the generated e-Way Bills?
  Yes, the validity of an e-Way Bill depends on the distance between the consignor and the consignee. In the case of regular vehicle or transportation modes, one-day validity is provided for every 2000 km or part of its movement. In the case of over-dimensional cargo vehicles, one-day validity is provided for every 20 km or part of its movement. The validity expires at midnight on the last day.
• My accountant or transporter has extended the validity of the e-Way Bill that I had generated. However, the status of the transaction is not updated in TallyPrime. How can I update the transaction’s status?
