GR No और RR No का मतलब क्या होता है? (Hindi)
1. GR No (गुड्स रसीद नंबर): जब आप अपनी फैक्ट्री या दुकान से माल ट्रक में लोड करवाते हैं, तो ट्रांसपोर्टर आपको एक पक्की रसीद देता है जिसे GR या बिल्टी (Bilty) कहते हैं। उस रसीद पर जो नंबर छपा होता है, उसे GR No या LR No कहा जाता है।
2. RR No (रेलवे रसीद नंबर): जब भारी माल या कंटेनर भारतीय रेल (Indian Railways) के मालगाड़ी डिब्बों से भेजा जाता है, तो रेलवे स्टेशन या पार्सल ऑफिस से मिलने वाली रसीद को Railway Receipt (RR) और उसके नंबर को RR No कहते हैं।
