How to Verify IBA Approved Packers and Movers

Why Verification is Crucial

In the Indian logistics industry, many companies falsely claim to be "IBA Approved" to attract bank employees and corporate clients. Using a non-approved company can lead to the rejection of your shifting allowance claim and, in worse cases, the loss or damage of your goods without any recourse. At Mamta Roadlines, we believe in empowering our clients with the right information.

Step-by-Step Verification Process

Follow these steps to ensure the company you are hiring is genuinely recommended by the Indian Banks' Association:

• Step 1: Ask for the IBA Code: Every approved transporter has a unique recommendation code. For Mamta Roadlines, it is IDM-1625.
• Step 2: Visit the Official IBA Website: Go to www.iba.org.in and navigate to the "Recommended Transport Operators" section.
• Step 3: Search by Name or Code: Use the search function on the IBA website to find the company. Ensure the name and address match exactly.
• Step 4: Check the Validity Date: IBA approval is granted for a specific period. Ensure the company's recommendation is currently active.
• Step 5: Verify the Lorry Receipt (LR): A genuine IBA approved LR will have the recommendation code printed on it and will be stamped by the company.

Common Red Flags to Watch Out For

• Missing IBA Code: If a company claims to be approved but cannot provide a code, it’s a major red flag.
• Expired Recommendation: Some companies use old, expired certificates to mislead clients.
• Mismatch in Details: If the name on the IBA website is slightly different from the company’s marketing materials, be cautious.
• Unusually Low Prices: Fraudulent companies often lure clients with "too good to be true" prices and then add hidden charges.
