There are many scenarios, where a tax payer may want to reject e-way bill generated against his GSTIN, by other parties – be it recipient, supplier or transporter. The reasons could either be an e-way bill raised by mistake or as a recipient, you may not have got the consignment as per the details mentioned in the e-way bill. In such a case, the right option to adapt for you would be to reject e-way bills. Also, it is important for you to track e-way bills, so that you are clear about the various e-way bills you are involved in.
