If goods are shifted to another vehicle during transit, Part B must be updated with the new vehicle number before the move continues. The e-way bill number stays the same.

Provisions

Rule 138, CGST Rules 2017

Analysis

Example: a truck carrying Rs 5 lakh of goods breaks down near Indore; goods are moved to another truck. The transporter updates Part B with the new number and reason. If many consignments are moved together in one vehicle, a consolidated e-way bill in EWB-02 can be made. Moving without updating Part B can lead to detention.
