ENHANCEMENT OF INTEROPERABLE SERVICES BETWEEN E-WAY BILL 1 AND E-WAY BILL 2 PORTALS
(Dated: 05.08.2024)
As you are aware, NIC implemented the Interoperable services for the E-Way Bill 1 and EWay Bill 2 portals in September 2024.
In the initial release, only the following criss-cross operations were enabled:
Updating of Part B
Get EWB
That is, E-Way Bills generated on E-Way Bill 1 (with at least one Part B entry made on EWay Bill 1) were allowed to update Part B from E-Way Bill 2. Similarly, E-Way Bills generated on E-Way Bill 2 were accessible from the same portal for such operations.
Enhanced Criss-Cross Operations – August 2025
We are pleased to inform you that the following additional criss-cross operations have now been enabled:
1. Updating of Part B for Part A Slips (First-Time Update): It is now possible to update Part B for Part A slips across portals, even for the first time.
Examples:
o For a Part A slip generated at E-Way Bill 1, Part B can be updated at E-Way Bill 2.
o For a Part A slip generated at E-Way Bill 2, Part B can be updated at E-Way Bill 1.
2. Extension of E-Way Bill:
You can now extend the validity of an E-Way Bill generated at one portal using the other portal.
o E-Way Bill generated at E-Way Bill 1 can be extended at E-Way Bill 2.
o E-Way Bill generated at E-Way Bill 2 can be extended at E-Way Bill 1.
3. Updating of Transporter:
It is now possible to update transporter details across portals.
o Transporter can be updated for E-Way Bills generated at E-Way Bill 1 from E-Way Bill 2, and vice versa.

Note:
1. Interoperable Services between the E-Way Bill 1 and E-Way Bill 2 portals are intended primarily for emergency or fall back use only.
In case the E-Way Bill 1 portal becomes temporarily unavailable, users may switch to the E-Way Bill 2 portal to continue generating and managing E-Way Bills without disrupting their business operations.
2. When using Interoperable Services between the two portals, updates may take some time to reflect in functions such as Print/Get Details.
Therefore, during cross-portal operations, please wait for at least 2 minutes for the data to sync between the portals before performing any subsequent actions.
