Spot unverified operators, verify licensing codes, and protect your hard-earned assets.
Verify the GSTIN registration code or IBA Code printed on your shipping order sheet below.
The logistics and shifting industry in India has minimal entry barriers, allowing fly-by-night operators to set up fake business listings on popular directories and claim false credentials.
Scam operators quote extremely low base rates on the phone. Once your goods are loaded, they halt the truck and demand double the money under the guise of surprise packaging, labor, or toll tariffs.
Fraudulent movers print fake, structural 15-digit GSTINs on their letterheads to avoid paying taxes and make their business look genuine. Use our **Fraud Shield Tool** next to this to check any GSTIN format checks instantly.
Fake operators carry out shifting without ever visiting your house or revealing their office. Insist on a physical survey. Visit their yard or check if their address matches their GMB maps listing directly.
