E-way bill issued with wrong vehicle no


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A business issued an e-way bill with an incorrect vehicle number because the buyer provided the wrong details. The cancellation window has passed, leaving them unsure about liabilities if goods are intercepted in transit. While the buyer is ultimately responsible for providing correct information, the issuer is also held accountable for preparing the e-way bill. It's advised to clearly state buyer responsibility on invoices and request vehicle details via email for documentation.

Anyhow ask your supplier to check the vehicle number while loading the goods.


ARUN GUPTA (Querist)
25 December 2023 Supplier are also not able to check because vehicle are parked 700 metre away from loading point due to narrow lanes.Buyers bring their labours and get loaded their materials.

25 December 2023 In such a case only buyer is responsible.

ARUN GUPTA (Querist)
25 December 2023 Yes this is the case so e-way bill and invoice is prepared on buyers information

20 January 2024 Apart from declaration, you can also ask to share vehicle details over an email which will document the fact here for any future reference.
