The registered supplier usually generates the e-way bill. If he does not, the registered recipient or the transporter can. When a registered buyer receives goods from an unregistered seller, the buyer generates it.

Analysis
Example: a Mumbai buyer collects goods in his own tempo from an unregistered artisan in Thane worth Rs 70,000; the buyer generates the e-way bill as recipient. If a transporter is given goods without one, he can generate it on the authority of the consignor. E-commerce operators and courier companies may generate it in some cases.
Conclusion
