Before booking, keep: a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar/Driving License), proof of new address (rent agreement or property document), a signed move agreement quoting items + price + dates, the mover's GST invoice, and (if claimed) a transit-insurance certificate. For office relocations in Jhargram, also keep an inventory list signed by the office admin.
Are there any extra charges I should expect besides the quoted price?+
A well-quoted move in Jhargram has no surprises, but watch for: floor charges (₹50–₹150 per floor above ground if no lift), parking permission fees in restricted zones, toll and inter-state permit charges on intercity routes, packing material premium for fragile-heavy moves, and waiting time charges if access is delayed more than 2 hours. Always ask your Jhargram mover to list these in the written quote before booking.
