E-way bill issued with vehicle no on buyers information

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion concerns the liabilities arising from incorrect vehicle numbers being provided by buyers for e-way bills. The supplier prepares the e-way bill based on the buyer's information, but if the number is wrong, it can lead to issues if the vehicle is intercepted. The supplier seeks clarification on who bears the penalty if the GST department discovers an error in the vehicle number, especially when goods are loaded by the buyer's own labour.

24 December 2023 We deliver goods from our suppliers godown to our client ex delivery from our suppliers godown. Our client gives us vehicle no and on that basis I and my supplier prepares e-way bill. If my client gives wrong vehicle no then who will suffer for this? One of my client gave two times wrong vehicle no and on my clients information e-way bill and invoices was prepared. What will be our liabilities?

It is not possible for me and my supplier to go and check the vehicle physically since goods are loaded by buyer by own labours .we prepare e-way bill and invoices and enter vehicle no on basis of our buyers information.please clarify?

30 December 2023 Since mentioning wrong vehicle number can be a problem when vehicle is intercepted and vehicle number is not matching with the e way bill and that you have mentioned that it has happened two times already so my suggestion is to create a policy that every time your client gives you the vehicle number information, he has to click front picture of that vehicle displaying vehicle number and provide it to you and secondly you may ask to sign on the declaration that in case vehicle number is wrongly provided, we disown all liability and all liability will be that of the vehicle number provider.
