# Proof of Delivery

The **Proof of Delivery (POD)** module in the Masters India ARAP platform lets you link E-Way Bills to invoices, track shipments in real-time (via driver mobile or vehicle FASTag), attach supporting documents, and generate downloadable reports.

When a tax authority raises a notice about a purchase or sale, you can produce a consolidated proof package that includes route history, toll data, delivery timestamps, and uploaded documents.

**Why POD matters:** Under Indian GST regulations, businesses may be required to prove that goods were actually transported and delivered. The POD module creates a timestamped, evidence-backed record that satisfies this requirement.&#x20;

#### High-Level Flow

`E-Way Bill` → `Create POD` → `Add Driver / Vehicle` → `Track Shipment` → `Upload Documents` → `Delivery Complete` → `Download Report`

***

### Prerequisites

Before you begin using the POD module, ensure the following:

* Your business unit and GSTIN are configured under **Configuration → Manage Business**.
* Supplier and buyer details are added in the system.
* If you plan to use automatic E-Way Bill fetching, your NIC GSP credentials must be added (see Auto-Fetch via GSP).
* For FASTag tracking, vehicles must have an active FASTag tag.
