How to Check E-Way Bill Status Online — With or Without Login
Every consignor, consignee and transporter eventually needs the same answer: is this E-Way Bill valid, which truck is carrying it, and when does it expire? Here is every way to check.

What an E-Way Bill Status Check Tells You
An E-Way Bill is the electronic document that accompanies goods being transported in India. When you check the status of an E-Way Bill, four pieces of information matter most:
Status
Whether the E-Way Bill is Active or Cancelled. A cancelled EWB means the document is no longer valid for that shipment.
Validity
The exact date and time until which the E-Way Bill is valid. Goods moving on an expired EWB can create serious problems mid-journey.
Vehicle Number (Part B)
Which vehicle is currently assigned to carry the goods. If the truck was changed during transit, the latest vehicle appears here.
Route and Transport Mode
The origin, destination and mode of transport — road, rail, air or ship.

Method 1 — The Official Government Portal
E-Way Bill details can be checked on the official government portal at ewaybillgst.gov.in. Full access generally requires portal login credentials, which the consignee or the truck owner often does not have — they usually just have the 12-digit EWB number shared with them.
Portal features and processes are updated by the authorities from time to time — always refer to the official site for the current procedure.
Method 2 — Check on LorryCare, No GST Login Needed
If all you have is the E-Way Bill number, LorryCare shows you the status, validity, assigned vehicle and route in seconds — sourced from ULIP, the official Government of India logistics data platform. No GST credentials required.

New: Stop Checking Manually — Automatic E-Way Bill Tracking on WhatsApp
Checking an E-Way Bill once tells you where things stood at that moment. But a shipment moves for days. LorryCare now offers automatic E-Way Bill tracking — set it up once, and updates arrive on your WhatsApp or email, once or twice daily, morning and evening.
What every automatic update includes
✓ Where the truck carrying your goods last crossed a toll — location and time
✓ The E-Way Bill validity, so expiry never catches you by surprise
✓ If the transporter changes the vehicle mid-journey, tracking follows the new truck automatically
Each update costs 3 credits, and the full price is shown before you confirm — no surprises. You can stop tracking anytime, and credits for unsent updates are refunded automatically.
LorryCare also maintains the complete journey history of every E-Way Bill you track — every toll crossing and every vehicle change — as a permanent record you can refer back to anytime. For businesses that like to keep a proper trail of each shipment, this record-keeping happens on its own, in the background.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I check an E-Way Bill without login?
On LorryCare, you only need the 12-digit E-Way Bill number and a free LorryCare account — no GST portal credentials are required. Registration takes 30 seconds with just a mobile number.
I do not have the EWB number — can I still track the truck?
Yes. If you know the vehicle registration number, you can track the truck directly using FASTag toll-crossing data on our FASTag tracking page.
What if no vehicle is assigned to the E-Way Bill yet?
That means Part B has not been filled — the shipment exists on paper but a truck has not been assigned. With automatic tracking, LorryCare keeps checking and starts following the truck as soon as one is assigned.
How current is the data?
All data comes from ULIP, the official Government of India logistics platform. Toll crossings generally reflect soon after they happen, though occasional delays can occur at the source.
What happens when an E-Way Bill expires?
An expired EWB can cause serious disruption to a shipment. Read our full guide on avoiding E-Way Bill expiry, linked above, and consult a GST professional for advice on your specific situation.
