Tezpur Army Cantonment & 4 Corps Posting Move: Defence Family Packing Guide (2026)

Tezpur is the operational nerve-centre of the Indian Army’s 4 Corps (Gajraj Corps) and is home to 5 Mountain Division — the Red Eagles. With Salonibari Air Force Station next door, the city hosts thousands of defence families every year. A posting in or out of Tezpur is a significant move — and unlike a civilian shift, it must be precisely timed to your reporting date.

Jai Ambay Packers and Movers has been the trusted choice of Gajraj Corps and Red Eagles families on the Guwahati–Tezpur route. Here is everything you need to know.

Tezpur cantonment pickup — what to plan

Common questions from Tezpur defence families

Q: Can you pickup from inside Tezpur Cantonment (Polo Field area / Mission Charali side)?

Yes. Share the gate-pass requirement 48 hours in advance. We have moved families from all major Married Accommodation blocks in Tezpur Cantonment.

Q: My posting is from Tezpur to a peace station. What is the right move grade?

We will quote based on your declared load size. The AGIF/regimental reimbursement covers up to your entitled scale — we issue an invoice that exactly matches what is reimbursable so you do not pay out of pocket.

Q: I am from IAF Salonibari, do you handle Air Force family moves?

Absolutely. We work with IAF families regularly — Air Force Group Insurance Society (AFGIS/AFGGIF) compatible invoicing and same defence-spec packing standards.
