Bill

GST Billing for Packers & Movers in India

Since the introduction of GST in India, relocation services have come under a structured taxation system. Understanding the correct GST rate helps customers avoid overcharging and illegal billing practices.

  • 🚚 Customers should always carry personal valuables such as jewellery, important documents, cash, and confidential items themselves before the shifting process begins.
  • 📦 For intercity or long-distance relocations, professional packing of major household items is mandatory to ensure safety during transit.
  • ❄️ Refrigerators must be switched off at least 12 hours prior to loading to avoid gas or water leakage issues.
  • 🔄 Packing materials used for local shifting are returnable within 5 days after delivery. If retained by the customer, material charges apply (Box – ₹75 | Cloth Sheet – ₹550).

Applicable GST Rates on Moving Services

0% GST (RCM): Applicable only when transportation is used and the customer has a valid GST number and opts to pay GST directly under Reverse Charge Mechanism.

5% GST: Charged when only transportation services are availed without packing or loading support.

12% GST: Applicable for companies availing transportation services strictly for business purposes, excluding manpower or packaging.

18% GST: Standard GST for complete relocation services including packing, loading, transport, unloading, and insurance.

28% GST: Not applicable to packers and movers services. Charging this rate is unlawful and customers should avoid such providers.

Tip: Always choose an IBA-approved packers and movers company like Skyline Packers and Movers to ensure proper GST invoices and valid insurance coverage.
