How do I change my address on Aadhaar after shifting?

You can update your Aadhaar address online through the myAadhaar portal with a valid proof of the new address, or at an Aadhaar enrolment centre. Do it soon after the move, since many other services pull your address from Aadhaar.

How do I transfer my gas connection to the new address?

For a local move within the same distributor's area, they update your address after a KYC check. For a move to a different area or city, you surrender the connection at your current distributor and receive a termination or transfer voucher, which you then use to take a connection at a distributor near the new home. Carry your subscription voucher and ID either way.

What should go in the first-night box?

Bedding, a change of clothes, phone chargers, medicines, toiletries, basic kitchen items for tea and a meal, important documents, and anything the children or elders need. Keep it with you rather than in the vehicle so it is the first thing you have at the new home.

Planning your move

House Shifting Checklist — A Week-by-Week Plan

Start about four weeks out: book the survey and fix the date, then work backwards — declutter and sort in week three, arrange utility transfers in week two, and pack the essentials box last. The single most useful habit is to label every carton by room and to keep a separate box of things you will need on the first night, so you are not opening ten boxes looking for a phone charger.

Four weeks before: fix the date and the mover

Book a free survey and get the quote fixed in writing
Confirm the muhurat or moving date and share it with the mover
Decide what is going, what is being sold or given away, and what is being discarded
Tell your landlord or society, and check any lift-booking or gate-pass rules at both ends

Two weeks before: transfer utilities and address

This is the part people forget until the last day. Arrange the electricity connection at the new address (TGSPDCL in Telangana, APEPDCL or APSPDCL in Andhra Pradesh), transfer or book the LPG gas connection to the new address with your distributor, and update your address on Aadhaar and on any bank and delivery accounts. Doing this two weeks out means the new home has power and gas from day one.

One week before: pack down

Let the crew pack the breakables and furniture — that is what the packing service is for, and it is where insurance-worthy damage is avoided
Pack a separate 'first night' box: bedding, a change of clothes, chargers, medicines, basic kitchen items and documents
Keep valuables, cash and key documents with you, not in the load
Defrost the fridge and empty and dry the washing machine a day ahead

On moving day

Do a final walk-through of every room, cupboard and loft before the vehicle leaves
Check the inventory against what is loaded
Keep the balance payment ready for delivery, not before
Carry the essentials box and valuables in your own vehicle
