It starts from the dispatch you already made
The invoice or the delivery challan is the source. Party, items and value are already there, so nobody is retyping a consignment into a second screen while a driver waits.

The loading is done and the driver is waiting. The only thing missing is a document somebody has to generate on a laptop in the office.
An e-way bill from the phone comes off the invoice you just raised, with no portal login and no desktop. Vehicle and distance details are prefilled, the number writes back into Tally against the same voucher, and you can cancel from the app inside the government window.

The invoice or the delivery challan is the source. Party, items and value are already there, so nobody is retyping a consignment into a second screen while a driver waits.

The distance between the two pin codes is worked out for you and the vehicle number is the one thing left to type. That is the part that usually sends someone back to a desk.

The e-way bill number lands against the same voucher, alongside the IRN if the invoice was registered too. One document trail, not a folder of PDFs somebody matches later.

Send it to the driver and the buyer on WhatsApp from the same screen. If it has to be cancelled, that happens from the app inside the window the government allows.

| What you need | Takkada | Other Tally mobile apps |
|---|---|---|
| Generating the e-way bill from a phone | Yes, off the invoice or the challan | Sometimes, and usually generation only |
| Cancelling one from the phone | Yes, inside the government window | Back to the portal on a desktop |
| Distance between the pin codes | Worked out for you | Looked up and typed in |
| Where the number ends up | On the same Tally voucher as the invoice | A separate record to match |
| Raising it together with the e-invoice | Both off the same invoice, in one go | Two separate journeys |
Checked on 8 August 2026 against the two Tally mobile apps distributors most often weigh against Takkada. We re-check this every fortnight, because their products move.
E-way bills from the phone start at the Assurance plan, together with e-invoicing.
Assurance ₹4,860/year + GST on a 3-year term
See what every plan includesNo, and today no software can, because the facility is not in force. GSTN Advisory No. 668 dated 29 July 2026 put the proposed e-way bill closure facility in abeyance until further notice, so the 1 August 2026 date that many tax sites still carry did not happen. Generation, cancellation and extension work as they always have.
No. Credentials are registered once during setup and the app talks to the system for you after that. Your dispatch team taps to generate rather than logging in, which is what lets the document be raised at the gate instead of by whoever is sitting at the office computer.
You update the vehicle details against the existing e-way bill, which is what the rules allow when a consignment is transferred to a different vehicle mid-journey. You do not have to cancel and start again, and the change is reflected against the same voucher in your books.
It writes back against the same voucher automatically, next to the IRN when the invoice was registered as well. Distributors who used to keep a separate register of e-way bill numbers to survive an audit stop maintaining it, because the number is already sitting on the invoice it belongs to.
Yes, both come off the same invoice in one pass, which is the sequence the government system expects when an IRN is involved. The details that carry across from the e-invoice do not have to be entered twice, and both numbers land against the same voucher in Tally.
