How Kolkata Relocation Works—Step by Step
Empire's proven methodology ensures accountability, compliance, and operational continuity throughout your move. Our process is built on 15+ years of corporate relocation experience in Kolkata and neighbouring metros.
- Initial consultation – contact our Kolkata office via +91 9891300425 or submit an inquiry specifying your location (e.g., Ballygunge, Sector V, Howrah), move date, and any specialized requirements (IT equipment, heritage items, GST audit compliance)
- Site visit & quotation – our dedicated project manager visits your premises (typically within 2 working days of inquiry), measures floor spaces, documents access constraints (lift availability, stairwell dimensions, parking near addresses like Apc Road or Eastern Metropolitan Bypass), and provides a detailed, non-binding estimate with IBA-approved pricing
- Quote acceptance & documentation – upon agreement, we issue a formal purchase order with GST breakdown, insurance options, and a binding move date. Your dedicated project manager is assigned for the entire duration
- Pre-move logistics – we confirm crew scheduling, vehicle assignment, and any special handling flags (e.g., piano, server racks, artwork). Packing materials are delivered to your location 2–3 days prior if full-service packing is selected
- Packing phase – trained staff systematically pack items by room, apply barcode labels, and maintain a real-time inventory log (critical for corporate compliance and insurance claims)
- Loading & transit – vehicle departure is confirmed with a time-stamped photographic record. GPS-enabled tracking is provided for high-value moves. Our crews follow the safest arterial routes (AJC Bose Road, Strand Road) depending on origin and destination
- Unloading & placement – items are unloaded, unpacked room-by-room, and positioned according to your layout sketch. Inventory cross-check is performed in real-time
- Post-move verification**—our project manager conducts a final walkthrough, verifies all items against the packing list, notes any damage (if applicable), and handles claims coordination with our insurance partner
- Invoicing & closure – GST-compliant invoice with audit trail is issued within 24 hours. Credit terms (30 days for corporates) are honored. Feedback is collected for continuous service improvement
Why Book Relocation Services with Empire Relocations
Since 2010, Empire Relocations has become the go-to relocation partner for enterprises, government bodies, and high-net-worth families across Kolkata and major metros. Here's why corporate and government clients choose us over non-IBA local movers and online aggregators:
- IBA Approval & Code MUO-2547 – we are verified by the Indian Movers Association, ensuring regulatory compliance, fair pricing standards, and dispute resolution access. Non-IBA aggregators cannot offer this assurance
- Dedicated enterprise project manager – every corporate move (whether a 50-person office shift from Sector V to Salt Lake City, or a 200-employee relocation across Kolkata) is assigned a single named project manager, eliminating coordination gaps and ensuring accountability
- GST-compliant invoicing & audit trail – GSTIN 07CFHPS1719A2ZN enables corporate clients to claim input tax credits. Full documentation supports internal audits and statutory compliance (critical for MNC and government procurement)
- Specialized IT & critical infrastructure handling – trained crews follow documented protocols for servers, workstations, telecom equipment, and sensitive electronics. We've successfully relocated 200+ office IT setups across Kolkata such that Monday morning every workstation is operational
- 30-day credit terms for corporates – unlike cash-on-delivery aggregators, we offer deferred invoicing for registered enterprises, reducing your working capital strain during major transitions

Insurance & Damage Protection

Empire Relocations offers comprehensive insurance cover to protect your belongings throughout transit and handling. All moves include a baseline liability cover (standard to the moving industry). Optional extended insurance can be purchased for an additional 3% of your declared goods value, offering full replacement coverage for loss or damage claims—a safeguard particularly important for high-value items, heirloom artwork, or irreplaceable documents.
- Baseline liability – covers partial loss due to crew negligence; claims processed within 15 days of incident report and documentation
- Optional extended insurance (3% of goods value) – full replacement or repair cost coverage; administered by our partner insurer
- Inventory documentation – detailed packing lists with photographs serve as proof of condition at origin; critical for claims and audits
- GST claim support – we assist corporate clients in filing insurance claims and reconciling amounts with tax authorities for input credit purposes
- No-damage warranty on selected items – glassware, electronics, and fragile items can be insured with zero-deductible protection if declared upfront

A 2 BHK local move in Kolkata ranges from ₹6,500 to ₹14,000 depending on distance, floor access, and packing complexity. Per-kilometre rates are ₹17–₹23/km for interstate moves. GST 18% is charged separately. Insurance (3% of declared value) is optional. Final quote depends on actual inventory assessment during the site visit to your Kolkata address.
How many days in advance should I book a relocation in Kolkata?
We recommend booking 10–14 days ahead for local household moves and 30 days for corporate office relocations. During peak season (April–June), advance notice of 3–4 weeks ensures your preferred date, dedicated project manager allocation, and trained crew availability. Emergency bookings within 48–72 hours are possible; contact +91 9891300425 for feasibility and additional charges applicable.
Do you offer transit insurance? What's the coverage limit?
Yes. Optional transit insurance covers 3% of declared value. We secure a claim within 7–10 business days of documented loss or damage. Coverage applies to all packed and unpacked items during transport, loading, and unloading. Professional handlers and audit-trail documentation ensure faster claim settlement. Insurance premium is calculated post-quotation based on total declared value of household/office goods.
What packing materials and methods do you use in Kolkata?
We use food-grade corrugated boxes, thermocol sheets, bubble wrap, craft tape, and wooden crates for fragile and high-value items. Furniture is wrapped in stretch film and corner-protected. Electronics receive anti-static protection. All materials are eco-friendly where possible. Packing methodology is customized per item—glassware, artwork, and IT equipment receive specialized handling protocols. Included in all standard quotations.
Are GST and tolls included in the Kolkata relocation quote?
GST 18% is always charged separately and shown explicitly on your tax invoice (GSTIN 07CFHPS1719A2ZN). Toll charges depend on your route (e.g., New Town to Rajarhat vs. Kolkata to Durgapur) and are pre-approved during quotation. Highway tolls for interstate moves are added as actuals post-journey. This transparency ensures no hidden costs—every charge is documented for audit compliance.
Can I track my goods while they're in transit?
Yes. Every move gets a dedicated project manager and tracking reference number. You receive SMS/WhatsApp updates on crew arrival, loading completion, departure, and delivery time windows. Real-time contact with your assigned manager ensures communication at Chandannagar toll, loading points, and arrival at destination. GPS tracking available for corporate high-value shipments on request (₹500–₹1,000 additional charge).
Do you provide storage if my new home isn't ready?
Yes. We offer bonded warehouse storage in Kolkata at ₹800–₹1,500/month per BHK depending on facility type and duration. Storage is GST-compliant with insurance and daily access. For corporate moves, 30-day free holding is included with select packages. Goods held beyond agreed period incur daily charges. Minimum storage duration is 7 days; longer commitments receive volume discounts.
