We have received the freight invoice from one of our transporter according to whom the material of one invoice has been shipped as two separate consignment. Is it allowed? As we will receive two bill of entries for same invoice. How the payment will be made in this case? Would it create any legal difficulty for payment?

There is no legal difficulty. It is allowed. Some time in case of large consignement of material /machinery, the same case arise. In such case, both consignment (transport) should be come together in transit. One transporter have photocopy of same invoice and second one have orignal copy of invoice. If in transit, any authority check then they have to provide the bill with bill of entries for checking.
You have to made custom duty agaisnt for both bill of entries. You have to make payment to party agasint amount payable as per invoice thourgh tt/LC/RTGS etc.
