What does Consignee mean in logistics?
Short answer
The party to whom goods are sent and who is entitled to take delivery, as named on the consignment note, bill of lading or air waybill.
On an Indian LR the consignee’s name, address and GSTIN must match the tax invoice and e-way bill; mismatches cause delivery disputes and problems during roadside checks. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
