Short answer

The Indian law that governs common carriers of goods by road. It requires registration of common carriers, sets the documents to be used at booking and defines when and how far the carrier is liable for loss, damage or delay.

The Act replaced the Carriers Act, 1865 and operates with the Carriage by Road Rules, 2011. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
