IBA-format bill for claim — how Singhania helps you

What is an IBA bill for claim?

The Indian Banks' Association (IBA) prescribes a standard invoice format that PSU banks, central government departments, and most large corporates accept for employee-transfer reimbursement. The IBA bill is essentially a structured invoice with specific mandatory fields that prove the move was conducted by an audited, certified mover.

Mandatory fields on an IBA bill

• IBA Approval Code (MUO-2547 for Singhania) — proves the mover is IBA-registered
• GSTIN of the mover — for tax credit and audit trail
• Origin and destination addresses — verifies the route
• Itemised charges — packing, loading, transportation, unloading, unpacking, insurance, GST
• Declared goods value — for transit insurance reference
• Insurance details — policy number, sum insured, premium amount
• Move date and shipment tracking ID
• Authorised signatory with company stamp

4. If your employer needs revisions: Call us — we re-issue the bill with corrections within 24 hours, no charge.

Documents you need for reimbursement

To claim reimbursement from your employer, typically you need:

• The IBA-format bill from Singhania
• The official transfer/posting letter from your employer
• A copy of your declared inventory (we provide this)
• Proof of payment (bank statement showing transfer to our account)
• For some employers: a "completion certificate" — we issue on request

Common reimbursement-claim mistakes to avoid

• Using a non-IBA mover: The single biggest reason claims are rejected. Always confirm the IBA approval code before booking — Singhania's is MUO-2547.
• Missing GSTIN on the bill: Some local movers issue handwritten receipts without GSTIN; these are not accepted.
• Mismatched names/addresses: The names on the IBA bill, transfer letter, and bank account must match exactly.
• Late submission: Most employers require claim submission within 30-90 days of the move. Submit early to avoid rejection.
• Missing inventory list: Itemised inventory is mandatory. Save the inventory copy we provide at packing.
