A Bilty (also known as a Lorry Receipt or LR) is an official consignment note issued by a Goods Transport Agency (GTA) or transport contractor to acknowledge receipt of goods for transportation from a sender (consignor) to a receiver (consignee). It acts as legal proof of carriage and title to goods under the Carriage by Road Act, 2007.

A standard transport bilty is printed in four copies: (1) Original Consignor Copy (handed to the sender), (2) Consignee Copy (sent with the truck and handed to the recipient upon delivery), (3) Driver / Lorry Copy (kept in vehicle cabin for RTO and checkpost verification), and (4) Office / Record Copy (retained by the transporter for billing and khata accounting).

What is the difference between Paid, To-Pay, and TBB bilties?
