Currently each organisation is going for automation. As such if the organisation is enganged as "Transport Agency", genreates the computerised Lorry Receipt (LR) or Goods Consignment Note (GCN), whether such insturment will be accepted by the Statutory / Government Authorities? The copies of LR/GCN will be identical but at the right hand corner the words such as "Consingee Copy / Consignor Copy / Driver's Copy / HO Copy / Branch Copy / Extra Copy" will appear with a logo of organisation. The printout will be taken at the despatching location and after signing by the authorised person on all the copies will be handed over to the Driver.
I strongly feel that this will help the organisation and there will be proper control on the serial numbers of LR/GCN.
Seeking the advice from the experienced people in this field, both from taxation angle & from the title of goods.

There is nothing wrong in adopting computerised receipts. Nor does the law prohibit them. You may go ahead. Wish you success.

Computerized LRs or GRs are accepted and valid negotiable instruments.
