Quick Summary
In a 4-party e-way bill (bill-to ship-to), the consignor in LR should be the actual dispatching party (C-Mumbai). Typically, goods move with principal's invoice (C→A) and/or supplier's invoice (A→B), depending on transaction structure-ensure consistency in e-way bill.

👉 Consignor in LR should be your principal (C – Mumbai), NOT you (A).

Thanks Mr. Ashok

Please also advise which invoice should go with the consignment, our ( party A) sale invoice on our customer (party B) or from our principals ( partu C) on us. Or both? 

 

In a 4-party bill-to/ship-to scenario, the supplier who raises the tax invoice generates the e-way bill. Use the Dispatched From field if the goods are being picked up from a location different from the billing address (such as a warehouse or job worker premises), and use the Shipped To field if the final delivery point differs from the bill-to address. If the intermediary raises a separate invoice for their own supply to the end buyer, a second e-way bill is needed for that leg of movement. This [e-way bill generation step-by-step guide](https://taxgarden.in/blog/e-way-bill-generation-step-by-step-ewb-portal-india-2026) walks through the Dispatched From and Shipped To fields for multi-party transactions.
