E-Way Bill in Case of Work Contract

[Arjun Prajapati]

There is three Parties involve, One is My Client (Say A), His Client (Say C) and Supplier (Say B),

Now, A is in Construction Contract (Supply of Material & Services) and Purchasing Goods from B directly at Client Site where construction is going on and B issuing E-way bill as 'Bill to A' and 'Ship to C'.

Now A has completed Construction and want to raise invoice to C.

My Question is, Whether Mr. A is liable for E-Way bill to Mr. C.

[Ganeshan Kalyani]

As there is not movement of goods from A to C the question of eway bill does not arise. Eway bi is mandatory only on movement of taxable goods subject to conditions.

AI Summary

E-way bill liability arises only on movement of goods; contractor not liable where no transfer of goods to recipient. Where a supplier issued transport documentation as 'bill to A' and 'ship to C,' an e-way bill obligation arises only on movement of taxable goods; because there is no movement from the contractor (A) to the client (C) when A raises its invoice, A does not incur a separate e-way bill duty, the supplier's/transporter's e-way documentation for the movement to the site being the relevant compliance.
