We Understand Transfer Bureaucracy
Unlike normal home shifting, government transfers require strict adherence to documentation rules. A single missing stamp can delay your reimbursement by months.
The '3 Quotation' Rule
Most departments require three competitive quotes before approving an advance. We instantly generate 3 independent, verifiable quotes from registered vendors on official letterheads.
IBA Approved Network
Bank employees (SBI, PNB, BOB) strictly need IBA (Indian Banks' Association) approved transporters. We filter our network to match you only with vendors holding valid IBA codes.
Audit-Proof Documentation
At delivery, you receive the golden packet: Original GST Tax Invoice, Lorry Receipt (Bilty), Cash Receipt, and stamped Inventory List. 100% compliant for CA/Auditor approval.
How To Process Your Claim
T Minus 20 Days: Request Quotations
Contact us as soon as your transfer order is generated. We conduct an inventory survey (video or physical) and provide 3 distinct quotations formatted for your department.
T Minus 10 Days: Submit for Approval
Submit the 3 quotations to your Accounts/HR department to sanction the relocation allowance or advance amount. Once approved, select the assigned vendor.
Moving Day & Packing
Our professional crew arrives. A detailed, multi-copy 'Packing List/Inventory' is created and signed by both parties. This is a crucial document for transit insurance.
Delivery & Final Billing
Upon unpacking at the destination, the full payment is settled. The vendor generates the final Original GST Invoice and Lorry Receipt (LR) detailing the origin, destination, and vehicle number.
A Note on Freight Entitlements
Depending on your pay scale / grade pay, you are entitled to move a specific weight or volume (e.g., 6000 kg by goods train or equivalent truck).
- We ensure the quoted vehicle capacity matches your entitlement limits.
- We can provide separate billing for Personal Car/Two-Wheeler transport as per standard govt clauses.
- Proper distance (in Kilometers) and origin/destination pincodes are clearly printed on the LR for DA calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you help with the TA/DA reimbursement process?
We understand that government and bank employees need to submit 3 distinct vendor quotations to their HR/Accounts department for approval. We provide 3 competitive, standardized, and verifiable quotations from different registered vendors to ensure your claim is processed without rejection.
Do you provide IBA-approved transporters?
Yes. For banking professionals (SBI, PNB, Canara, etc.) and specific PSU transfers that mandate IBA (Indian Banks' Association) approved transport operators, we specifically match your inquiry with our network of strictly IBA-approved packers and movers.
What documents will I receive for my claim settlement?
Post-relocation, you will receive a comprehensive documentation packet required by government auditors: 1) Original GST Invoice, 2) Consignment Note (Bilty/LR Copy), 3) Money Receipt, 4) Packing List/Inventory, and 5) Vendor's GST/PAN copies if requested.
Can I transport my car along with household goods?
Absolutely. We provide combined estimates for household goods and vehicle transport (car/bike). If your department requires separate billing for the vehicle and household items, we format the invoices accordingly to match your entitlement rules.
How much in advance should I start this process?
Since you need time to submit quotations and get departmental approval, we highly recommend requesting quotes at least 15 to 20 days before your intended shifting date. This gives your accounts department ample time to process the advance.
