how to close e way bill after delivery tally prime

In TallyPrime, the usual action after delivery is to cancel the e-way bill from the voucher or e-way bill report, because the classic “close” flow is not the same as portal-side closure and may depend on the GSTN update in your environment. TallyHelp explains cancellation from TallyPrime, while Tally’s June 2026 update notes that a new e-way bill closure facility is being introduced on the portal, with status becoming final once closed.

What you can do in TallyPrime

1. Open the company and go to the e-way bill-related report or voucher.
2. Select the transaction linked to the e-way bill.
3. Choose Cancel E-Way Bill or the equivalent cancellation action.
4. Enter the reason and remarks.
5. Send the update to sync it with the e-way bill system.

Important distinction

TallyPrime’s built-in process is mainly for cancellation and syncing status back from the e-way bill system, not for manually “closing” a delivered bill in the same way a portal closure works. The new GSTN closure facility described by TallySolutions is a separate portal feature, and once a bill is closed it cannot be reopened.

Practical rule of thumb

• If the bill was generated in error or is no longer needed, use cancellation in TallyPrime.

• If your GST system has the new closure option enabled, closure is done on the e-way bill portal under the E-Way Bill > Closure menu, not as a normal voucher edit.

• If you only need the record to reflect delivery, make sure the voucher and sync status are updated properly after the movement is completed.

Note

The most current public guidance I found says the new closure facility was postponed to 1 August 2026 , so behavior may differ depending on whether your system has received that update yet.

TL;DR: In TallyPrime, you generally cancel/sync the e-way bill from the voucher or e-way bill report; true closure is a newer GSTN portal feature, not the same thing as the usual Tally cancellation flow.
