Calculate approximate road distance between two PIN codes and get the e-way bill validity period instantly. Enter origin and destination PIN codes to find out how many days your e-way bill will be valid.
How is PIN to PIN distance calculated? The e-way bill system calculates the approximate road distance between the dispatch and delivery locations based on their 6-digit postal codes (NIC distance). This distance dictates the e-way bill validity period (1 day per 200 km for normal cargo). This tool uses the same zone-mapping approach to give you an instant distance estimate before generating the bill.
| Distance (km) | Normal Cargo | ODC Cargo |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 200 | 1 day (24h) | 10 days (240h) |
| 201–400 | 2 days (48h) | 20 days (480h) |
| 401–600 | 3 days (72h) | 30 days (720h) |
| 601–800 | 4 days (96h) | 40 days (960h) |
| 801–1000 | 5 days (120h) | 50 days (1200h) |
| 1001–1200 | 6 days (144h) | 60 days (1440h) |
| 1201–1500 | 8 days (192h) | 75 days (1800h) |
| 1501–2000 | 10 days (240h) | 100 days (2400h) |
When you generate an e-way bill on the portal, the system auto-calculates the distance between the origin and destination using PIN codes. This distance (called the NIC distance) determines how long your e-way bill stays valid.
The formula is simple: for normal cargo, you get 1 day (24 hours) for every 200 km or part thereof. So 250 km gets you 2 days, not 1.25 days — it always rounds up. For over-dimensional cargo (ODC) like heavy machinery or industrial equipment, the rate is 1 day per 20 km.
This tool uses the same PIN code prefix-based approach to estimate distance. While the actual NIC distance may vary by ±10%, this gives you a reliable estimate for planning your consignment movement.
