This discussion clarifies the e-way bill requirements for a 'Bill to Ship To' transaction. M/s B Ltd in Chhattisgarh invoiced M/s A Ltd in Maharashtra, with goods delivered to M/s C Ltd in Telangana. The consensus is that M/s A Ltd does not need to issue a separate e-way bill. This is because M/s B Ltd already generated a valid 'Bill to Ship To' e-way bill, and the movement of goods was initiated by M/s B Ltd, not M/s A Ltd.

Now whether M/s A Ltd is required to again issue a ewaybill in favour of M/s C Ltd for supply of goods. As the goods are delivered to a distinct person and in a different state.

E way bill is required to be generated by the person who causes the movement of goods. As movement of goods is not caused by M/s A Ltd. no e-way bill is required to be issued by A Ltd. E way bill is correctly generated by M/s B Ltd showing as bill to ship to.
