This discussion clarifies who is responsible for creating an E-way bill when a vendor ships directly to your buyer. As the seller, you, your transporter, or your buyer are typically responsible. However, the 'Bill to – Ship to' provision under GST allows for this scenario, provided the E-way bill correctly lists your GSTIN as the buyer and your customer's address as the delivery location.

CAN MY VENDOR DIRECTLY CREATE EWAY BILL AND SEND GOODS TO MY BUYER? i only tie up on phone, i dont mind my vendor knows id of my customer.

Since you are the seller, the responsibility of generating the E-way bill typically falls on you, your transporter, or your buyer—not your vendor. However, there is a concept called "Bill to – Ship to" under GST, where goods can be billed to one party but shipped to another. If your vendor is directly shipping goods to your buyer, the E-way bill should reflect the correct billing and shipping details. The bill should mention your GSTIN as the buyer and your customer's address as the delivery location.
