Our 7-Step Verification Process
The most rigorous mover verification process in India. Every company on PackersBazaar.in passes all 7 steps — or doesn't get listed. No exceptions.
India has a serious fake movers problem. Thousands of fraudulent "companies" operate without GST, without insurance, and without any accountability. Customers lose lakhs of rupees annually to inflated bills, damaged goods, and outright theft.
PackersBazaar.in was built specifically to solve this. Our 7-step verification process was designed with input from IBA officials, consumer rights advocates, and logistics experts. It is the most thorough verification system in the Indian moving directory space — and we are proud of that.
7 Steps. No Shortcuts.
GST Verification
We verify the company's GSTIN against the government GST portal. We check that the registration is active, the business name matches the application, and the filing history shows no lapses. Companies with cancelled or suspended GST are immediately rejected.
PAN Check
The company's PAN is verified against Income Tax records. We cross-reference the PAN with the GST number to confirm they belong to the same entity. Director/proprietor PAN is also verified to ensure no blacklisted individuals are involved.
IBA Certificate Audit
For companies offering household goods transport, we check for IBA (Indian Banks' Association) approval — the gold standard for movers with insurance partnerships. While IBA certification is not mandatory for all movers, its presence is a strong trust indicator and earns an additional badge.
Physical Office Visit
Our trained field verification executives physically visit the office address provided. They check that the office is real and operational (not a residential address or virtual office), photograph the premises, verify signboards and infrastructure, and meet a company representative in person.
Owner Background Check
We run background checks on the company's directors and proprietors. This includes checking for criminal records via a third-party background verification partner, past consumer forum complaints, and history of fraud cases. Any individual with a relevant criminal record causes the application to be rejected.
Customer Review Audit
Before listing, we audit all existing Google, Justdial, and social media reviews for the company. Patterns of fake reviews (bulk 5-star ratings with no content, reviews posted within the same hour) are red flags. Companies with a history of review manipulation are rejected regardless of their documents.
Ongoing Performance Monitoring
Verification isn't a one-time event. Our VerifyTech system continuously monitors all listed companies. We track new customer complaints, GST filing lapses, social media issues, and customer satisfaction scores. Any company falling below our standards is delisted within 48 hours — no warnings.
What Gets You Rejected
We reject over 40% of all applications. These are the three most common reasons.
Fake or Inactive GST
Any company whose GST number is inactive, suspended, or does not match the application details is immediately rejected and blocked from reapplying for 12 months.
Pattern of Negative Reviews
Companies with recurring complaints about held-hostage goods, inflated bills, or non-delivery of items are rejected even if their documents are valid. Customer safety comes first.
No Physical Office
If our field executive cannot find a real, operational office at the stated address — or finds a residential flat or virtual office — the application is rejected and flagged in our fraud database.
Our Verification Badges Explained
Every badge on a PackersBazaar.in listing is earned — not purchased. Here's what each one means.
Verified Badge
The standard Verified badge means the company has passed all 7 steps of our verification process. GST is active, office is real, owner is clean, and reviews are genuine. All listed companies have this badge.
GST Registered
A separate GST badge highlights companies that have been GST-registered for more than 3 years with a clean, uninterrupted filing history — indicating a stable, established business.
IBA Approved
The IBA badge is reserved for companies with valid IBA (Indian Banks' Association) approval. These movers carry comprehensive goods-in-transit insurance — the highest standard of consumer protection in the industry.
