E-waybill can be generated by the consignor, consignee or transporter. Non-generation of e-waybill is liable for penalty. However, if you have L/R of the transporter and such other proof of transportation of goods then the ITC will be available to you if you have received the goods and have a valid invoice with you.
You have mentioned that non-generation of EWB is liable for penalty. In the case narrated by me, who will be liable for penalty? If vendor is registered person and in spite of that if he does not generate EWB, who will be liable for penalty?
