E-WAY BILL - BILLED TO & SHIPPED TO

[SAFETAB LIFESCIENCE]

Respected Experts,

Our company is in Pondicherry. We are placing orders through agents in chennai and the materials are coming from Mumbai or Gujarat or Hyderabad.

A is the manufacturer B is the agent C is us and user (Company). A has to raise Tax Invoice as Billed to B and Shipped to C. We were informed that at present Two e-way bills to be issued. One is raised by A and for the movement from Mumabi to Chennai and another e-way bill raised by B for the movement from Chennai to Pondicherry. Is right ? Also we were informed both e-way bills to be carried by the transported from Mumbai itself ? But actually, goods will be moved from Mumabi(A) to Pondicherry(C). Suppose if the agent(B) raised e-way bill for movement from Chennai to Pondicherry it will be valid for 2 days only.

From Mumbai it will take minimum 7 days to reach consignment to Pondy

AI Summary

E-way bill requirement: each invoice for goods movement needs its own e-way bill, including agent-to-principal invoicing.
Each invoice accompanying movement requires a corresponding e-way bill; where goods are billed to an agent and subsequently invoiced to the end user, two invoices will usually exist and therefore two e-way bills are required. The agent must generate the second e-way bill before onward movement begins even if the goods do not physically pass through the agent, reflecting that compliance follows the invoicing chain rather than actual physical receipt.
