Hi there,

As far as I know, you cannot cancel the E-Way bills after 24 hours. A consignor can cancel the E-Way bill only before 24 hours. But the receiver can cancel an E-Way bill within 72 hours of receiving the bill. 

For this you need to visit;

• E-way bill system portal.

• Choose the cancel option from the e-way bill tab.

• You need to enter the E-Way number to cancel your E-Way bill.

• After entering the 12-digit E-way number hit 'Go'.

• Mention the reason to cancel the E Way bill.

I hope you find this informative.
