Packers and movers · R.K. Puram, South Delhi
Maxx Relocation shifts households out of R.K. Puram quarters, to another sector, across Delhi or to a new posting in another city. We work backwards from the date your quarter has to be empty, and staff the crew for blocks where everything comes down a shared stair.
Area overview

R.K. Puram is one of the largest government colonies in Delhi. The Central Public Works Department started building it in the late 1950s on land of the old Mohammadpur village, south-west of the Secretariat, and most of it is still double-storeyed blocks of two- and three-bedroom quarters for central government officers, as its Wikipedia entry records. Later came Som Vihar, a cooperative for defence officers set up in the mid-1980s, and high-rise blocks such as Nivedita Kunj for senior officers.
The CPWD's list of its maintenance divisions names R.K. Puram Sectors 1 to 13, puts Nivedita Kunj in Sector 10, and shows CGHS dispensaries in Sectors 6, 8 and 12. Quarters in the general pool come in classified types, from Type I up to Type VIII, under the General Pool Residential Accommodation Rules, 2017. A paper in the Institute of Town Planners journal notes that CPWD norms gave lifts only to the higher types, so in most blocks here our crew carries each carton and almirah by hand.
The calendar matters as much as the stairs. When an allottee moves to another quarter, rule 44 of those rules allows the former one to be kept for thirty days for shifting, and a transfer out of the station carries its own retention period. We fit the packing and loading inside that window so you can hand back the keys on time. Our Delhi branch is in Sector 12, Dwarka. See packers and movers in Delhi, our household shifting service, or the Vasant Kunj page if you are buying or renting a DDA flat nearby.
Local know-how
Fixed vacating dates and low blocks without lifts shape most moves out of this colony.
On the ground in R.K. Puram South Delhi
Most blocks are low, with a common stair and no lift. We pack into lighter cartons, take beds and almirahs apart, and put enough people on the stair to keep loading steady.
A change of quarter or a transfer order comes with a fixed period to vacate. Share the last date with us and the plan is built back from it.
The vacating formalities with the Directorate of Estates and your office stay with you. Our part is to have the rooms empty on the agreed day so nothing holds up the handover.
Sector and block numbers alone can send a driver round in circles. Add a landmark, such as the sector market, a CGHS dispensary or the metro gate, when you book.
Moving to a higher-type quarter in another sector is a short drive but two sets of stairs. A smaller household can usually be shifted in one day.
A transfer to another city means a road move over distance. We pack for the journey and can hold goods in storage until the new quarter is allotted.
Finding your way
R.K. Puram is large and its sectors look alike from the road, so we plan the run around a few fixed points.
An underground stop on the Magenta Line between Munirka and IIT, opened on 29 May 2018. Its exit is an easy place for the crew to meet you before walking to the block.
The ITPI case study counts this commercial centre among the land uses inside R.K. Puram's 442 hectares. It sits on Ring Road, and the stretch near the Hyatt has flooded in heavy rain (see below).
The same study lists these government office blocks within the colony. Loading outside office hours keeps the internal roads around them clearer for a truck.
Wikipedia gives the school a 12-acre campus and about 9,500 students. With that many pupils, we keep the truck away from its gates at the start and end of the school day.
Homes we move
Quarter sizes vary widely. The ITPI paper gives a plinth area of 365 sq ft for Type I, rising to 2,400 sq ft for Type VII, and notes that demand is highest for Type II, then Type III and Type I. A Type II household usually fits one small truck, while a Type VI or VII flat holds several times as much and is quoted on its own room count.
CPWD norms provided lifts only for Types V, VI and VII, so a move between the lower types is a stair job at both ends, while a move up into a higher type may end at a lift. In a high-rise block such as Nivedita Kunj, ask the CPWD service centre how the lift is shared before the day.
On the ground
Under rule 16 of the GPRA Rules, 2017, physical possession is to be taken within five working days of receiving the acceptance letter, and CPWD issues a Physical Occupation Report once the quarter is ready. Book the crew as soon as the letter arrives.
Rule 64 has the vacation notice issued at least fifteen days before the permitted retention ends. Treat that notice as the final deadline for packing, not the start of planning.
Rule 75 keeps the allottee liable for licence fee until full vacant possession is restored, so nothing should be left behind in a storeroom or on the terrace.
The retention table in rule 40 allows two months at normal licence fee after a transfer, followed by up to six months at double. Storage can bridge the gap if you need to vacate early.

How it works
Four clear steps, from your first call to the last carton unpacked.
Share what is moving and where. We check volume and access, then give you a clear written quote.
Cartons, wrapping and labels matched to each item: furniture, glassware, electronics and files.
Trained crews load a vehicle sized to your goods and drive it to your new address.
Goods are unloaded, placed room by room and unpacked if you want us to.
When to move
The allotment calendar sets the rhythm. e-Sampada lists bidding for October 2026 from the 1st to the 9th, allotment on the 10th, acceptance by the 18th and technical possession by the 26th. Moves into new quarters therefore bunch in the last ten days of each month, and booking early for those dates helps.
The monsoon adds a second constraint. The Tribune reported waterlogging on Ring Road near the Hyatt and under the AIIMS flyover on 31 August 2021, and in August 2018 it listed Rao Tula Ram Marg among flooded roads. On heavy-rain days we load early and keep a route that avoids those spots.

Pricing guidance
For an R.K. Puram quarter, the floor, the size of the household and where the posting takes you decide the quote. A short shift between sectors is priced on time and crew rather than distance.

|---|---|---|---|
| Gurgaon to Delhi | ₹7,000–8,000 | ₹10,000–13,500 | ₹14,000–16,500 |

That depends on your case under the General Pool Residential Accommodation Rules, 2017, and the Directorate of Estates applies them. Confirm the date with your office, tell us, and we plan the move to finish before it.
Yes. Under rule 44, an allottee who accepts another quarter may keep the former one for thirty days for shifting, so there is room to plan. A smaller household usually goes across in a single day.
Stairs change the crew size and the pace, not whether the job can be done. Tell us the floor at both ends when you ask for a quote so we send the right number of people.
Yes. Goods can wait in our storage and be delivered once you have the keys to the new quarter, in Delhi or in another city.
Yes, within India, on a covered carrier. See car transport for how it works and book it with the household move.
