E-Way Bill Cancellation API
Cancel an e-way bill you generated, in one call.
What the Cancel E-Way Bill API does
Cancel an e-way bill programmatically when a consignment does not move or was raised in error. Cancellation is permitted only within the portal’s window and before the consignment has been verified in transit. Calls carry your own GST portal API credentials (GSTIN, username and password), so filings are made as you, on your own registration. We never file on our own account.
Popular use cases
- →Reversing e-way bills for cancelled or returned dispatches
- →Correcting bills raised against the wrong consignment
- →Automated cleanup in transport management systems

Frequently asked questions
When can an e-way bill no longer be cancelled?
Once the portal’s cancellation window has passed, or once the consignment has been verified in transit by an officer. The portal returns a specific reason in both cases.
Does a cancelled bill still cost me?
The cancellation call costs ₹3 if the portal accepts it. A refused cancellation is not charged.
Can I test the Cancel E-Way Bill API for free?
Yes. Every account gets a TEST key that calls the Cancel E-Way Bill API in the sandbox at no cost and returns realistic sample responses, so you can finish your integration before adding money to the wallet.
Am I charged if a Cancel E-Way Bill API call fails?
No. You pay only for successful calls. If the source is unavailable, times out or rejects the request, the amount held for that call is released straight back to your wallet.
