What a delivery chalan is for in Nepal

A delivery chalan travels with the goods. It says what left your premises, how much, where it is going and who signed for it at the other end. Suppliers in Nepal use it for deliveries against an invoice and for stock moving between a shop and a godown. They also use it for goods sent for repair and for returns going back to a supplier. The tax document is the invoice, not the chalan.

A signed chalan matters most when something is disputed. If a customer says a carton never arrived, the signed copy is your only proof.

How to fill it in

Fill your own details into the consignor block (the sender) of the Excel file and save it as the master. For each delivery, fill in a chalan number, both dates and the invoice or order number the delivery belongs to. Then fill the consignee block (the receiver) with the delivery address, and add the vehicle or carrier details. List the goods one line per item, with the unit and quantity. Rate and value columns are there if you want them, with the totals and the tax line at 13% VAT already set as formulas. Leave them blank for a plain transfer.

Print at least two copies. One goes with the driver to be signed and brought back. One stays with you.

Common mistakes

  • Sending goods with no chalan and relying on the invoice. The invoice does not show who received the carton.
  • Not writing the reason for the movement, so a transfer looks like a sale.
  • Leaving the receiver signature blank because the delivery was in a hurry.
  • No vehicle number on a load that then goes missing.
  • Chalan numbers that restart or repeat, so you cannot trace a delivery back.
  • Filing the signed copy loosely instead of with the invoice it belongs to.

How Kuver Books prints it automatically

In Kuver Books the delivery comes from the same chain of documents as the sale. The chalan lines are the invoice lines, so nobody retypes them. When you move stock between locations, both locations update, so no shelf count has to be fixed by hand. You can see every movement for each item. Unlimited warehouses on every plan. Batch and expiry details travel with the goods where you track them, and the stock register shows the movement as soon as it is recorded. See inventory and stock control.

Frequently asked questions

Is a delivery chalan the same as a tax invoice?
No. A chalan travels with the goods and proves what moved and who received it. The tax invoice is the document that shows the price and the tax. When the movement is a sale, you raise both, and the chalan names the invoice number so you can match the two later.
Do I need a chalan for a transfer between my own locations?
It is the sensible way to move stock between your own shop and warehouse. Nothing is sold and no invoice exists, but goods have still left one place and arrived at another. Write the reason as a transfer, get a signature at the receiving end and keep your copy on file.
Should the chalan show values?
Many businesses show the value, so the receiver and the carrier both know what is on board. This matters most for insured or high-value loads. This template has rate and value columns, which you can leave blank on a plain transfer. Confirm with the IRD what a chalan must show for goods in transit.
