What is the difference between an invoice and a packing slip?

An invoice is a financial document demanding payment, including prices, taxes, and bank terms. A packing slip (or delivery challan) is a logistics document sent with the physical shipment listing what items and quantities are inside the package, excluding prices to protect warehouse and transit confidentiality.

Can I use this as an official Delivery Challan for GST or tax compliance?

Yes. By selecting the 'Delivery Challan' preset, the document includes Consignor and Consignee GSTIN numbers, dispatch vehicle details, and authorized receiver acknowledgment signatures required for goods movement.

Packing Slips & Delivery Challans: Essential Guide for Businesses

A Packing Slip (also recognized internationally as a Delivery Challan, Shipping Manifest, or Dispatch Note) is a vital shipping document included inside or attached to outgoing cargo packages. It itemizes the physical contents of each box, enabling warehouse workers, freight couriers, and receiving dock teams to confirm that every ordered product is accounted for without opening sealed commercial billing documents.

Why Exclude Prices from a Packing Slip?

Unlike commercial tax invoices, standard packing slips intentionally omit pricing figures and payment terms. This protects sensitive commercial pricing agreements from being exposed to third-party delivery drivers, freight handlers, and gift recipients, while focusing purely on item count verification and cargo weight control.

Delivery Challan Requirements for GST & Interstate Transport

Under statutory goods movement regulations (such as Rule 55 of CGST Rules in India), transporting goods for purposes other than direct sales (such as job work, exhibition, branch transfers, or preliminary dispatch) requires an official Delivery Challan. This document must record:

Date and serial number of the delivery challan
Name, address, and GSTIN of the consignor and consignee
HSN/SKU code and detailed item descriptions
Quantity supplied and number of carton packages
Signature of the consignor and acknowledging carrier
