Schemes and rules change. Treat this as an explanation, and check the current notice on the official portal before you act.
The lorry receipt (LR, often called bilty) is the transporter's receipt for the load: consignor, consignee, vehicle, quantity and freight terms. It shows the transporter took charge of the goods.
The proof of delivery (POD) is the buyer's signed or stamped acknowledgement that the goods arrived — often with the weight received. It closes the trip and supports both the invoice and the transporter's settlement.
The e-way bill is the electronic document under GST for moving goods, generated on the government's e-way bill system (or through an authorised provider). Whether one is needed, and its validity, follow the current GST rules — check the official portal.
More detail
Kept together with the kanta slips, these papers answer most transport questions: what left, on which truck, what arrived, and when. A missing POD is usually why a freight bill or an invoice gets stuck.
Common confusion
Preparing e-way bill details is not the same as generating the e-way bill. The official bill is generated on the government system.
What it means if you trade coal
Keep the LR, both kanta slips, the e-way bill and the POD against each trip. Chase PODs early — a trip without one is a payment waiting to be disputed.

E-way bill details fill in from the invoice and dispatch; you type the distance. The official bill is generated on the government portal and its PDF attached. Coal Boss is not connected to the portal yet.
