Comment
the consigner may issue a delivery challan to job worker, serially numbered, in lieu of invoice at the time of removal of goods for transportation. Rule 55 provide minimum contents for such challan. Where the goods are sent from one job worker to another job worker, the goods may move under the cover of a challan issued either by the principal or the job worker. In the alternative, the challan issued by the principal may be endorsed by the job worker sending the goods to another job worker, indicating therein the quantity and description of goods being sent.
As per the provisions contained in rule 138, an e-way bill is required to be generated by every registered person who causes movement of goods. The third proviso to rule 138(1) of the CGST rules provides that the e-way bill shall be generated either by the principal or by the registered job worker irrespective of the value of the consignment, where such movement is inter-State.
