What does POD-linked billing mean in logistics?

Short answer

A billing rule under which a freight bill is accepted and paid only for consignments with a valid proof of delivery attached or linked.

Standard with Indian corporate shippers. Slow POD return is a major cause of delayed payment to transporters, which ePOD largely removes. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
