What a freight bill is

A freight bill, also called a transport bill, is the bill a transporter sends to a party for carrying goods. It usually covers many LRs (lorry receipts) together, often for a month. This is the bill for LRs marked TBB (to be billed).

What goes on a freight bill

  1. Bill number and date, and the billing period it covers.
  2. Transporter: name, address, GSTIN and PAN. Party: name, address and GSTIN.
  3. One line per LR: LR number and date, from and to, vehicle number.
  4. Quantity and rate: by ton, by trip or by km. Quantity times rate is the freight for that line.
  5. GST: the service is "goods transport by road", SAC 996511. Show CGST + SGST for the same state, or IGST for another state.
  6. Reverse charge: say whether the party or the transporter pays the tax. This depends on how your business is registered, so confirm it with your CA.
  7. Bank details and the payment due date.
  8. Attach the LR copies and the delivery proof (POD). Parties pay faster when the proof is there.
