Free Delivery Note & Challan Generator

A delivery note (in India: delivery challan) is a document that accompanies goods in transit. It lists what is being delivered — quantities and items, but no prices — and is signed by the receiver as proof of delivery. The pricing comes later in a separate invoice.

Under Rule 55 of the CGST Rules, a delivery challan is required when goods are moved without a tax invoice — for example: stock transfer between branches, sending material to a job worker, supply on approval/sale-or-return, or movement for exhibition. The challan must accompany the goods during transport.

A delivery note tracks WHAT was delivered (items, quantities) — no pricing. An invoice tracks HOW MUCH was charged for it. The same shipment usually has both: the delivery note travels with the goods and gets signed on receipt; the invoice is sent separately for payment.

Yes — for road transport in India, the vehicle number is required if the consignment value exceeds ₹50,000 (for an e-way bill). Even below the threshold, including the vehicle number and driver name is a strong best practice for accountability.

GST law specifies three copies: the original for the consignee (receiver), the duplicate for the transporter, and the triplicate retained by the consignor (sender). For everyday B2B deliveries, two copies (one signed and returned, one kept by the receiver) is the practical minimum.
