How to make a delivery challan
Goods sometimes move without a sale yet: on approval, for job work, to a branch, or before the invoice. A delivery challan goes with them.
Step by step
- Choose the Purpose. Job work, Supply on approval, Sale (invoice to follow), Branch or stock transfer or Other.
- Delivery challan details. Number, date, Place of supply, Order / PO number, Vehicle number, Transporter, LR / docket number.
- Deliver to (consignee). Who receives the goods.
- Items with value. Quantity and rate; tick Show GST on this document if the tax should be shown.
- Copies and save. Print 3 copies; the original and duplicate travel with the goods.
- Bill it later. Press Make invoice when the sale is final; the status becomes Invoice made.
Worked example
Goods worth ₹80,000 go to a customer on approval on 1 November: challan DC/26-27/007, purpose Supply on approval. The customer keeps goods worth ₹60,000 and returns the rest on 20 November: press Make invoice, change the quantities to what was kept, save, and set the challan to Invoice made.
Rules and dates
Rule 55 of the CGST Rules lists when a challan is used and what it shows. Goods sent on approval must be invoiced within 6 months or returned (section 31(7)). An e-way bill may still be needed for goods over ₹50,000.
