*Note* that no other details of E-Way Bills can be edited.
Here is a step-by-step Process to Update Vehicle Number:
Step-1: Login to the e-way bills portal and Select ‘Update Vehicle No’ sub-option under ‘e-Waybill’ option appearing on the left-hand side of the page.
Step-2: Against ‘Show e-Way Bill By:’, Select either ‘e-Way Bill No.’ or ‘Generated Date’. Enter the e-Way Bill No. or Date and Click on ‘Go’.
