General Records Schedule (GRS)

The General Records Schedule (GRS) is a set of standardized rules used by government agencies to manage their records. It provides clear guidelines on how long to keep different types of records and when to dispose of them safely. This helps ensure consistent record-keeping, legal compliance, and efficient use of storage space. Essentially, GRS simplifies the process of managing records across various agencies by offering a common framework for their retention and destruction timelines.
