Record and Information Management Services in Mumbai
Secure document storage, archiving, retrieval and destruction for Mumbai businesses, from a trusted moving and storage partner.
Is Paper Taking Over Your Mumbai Office?
Space is the most expensive thing a Mumbai business owns. At Nariman Point, BKC, Lower Parel or Andheri East, every square foot of rent goes toward people and revenue, not towers of files. Yet most offices still hold years of invoices, contracts, HR files, KYC forms, medical charts and legal papers in cabinets, store rooms and cartons.
Suraksha Packers and Movers' Record and Information Management service takes that burden off your premises. We collect, catalogue, store, retrieve and, when the time comes, securely destroy your records. You keep the space and the control, and you can find any file when an auditor, regulator or client asks.
What Is Record and Information Management?
Record and information management (RIM) is the organised handling of business records through their whole life: creation, storage, access, retention and final disposal. It is more than renting shelf space. A good RIM service answers four questions at any moment:
- Where is this record?
- Who has handled or accessed it?
- How long must we keep it?
- When and how can it be destroyed safely?
Our Mumbai service is built around those four answers.
Our Record Management Services in Mumbai
1. Secure Offsite Document Storage
Your files are stored in our warehouse facility in clean, dry, access-controlled bays, away from the leaks, pests and fire risks of an overcrowded office store room.
2. Pickup, Packing and Transport
Packing is our core skill. Our trained crew boxes files in standard record cartons, seals and labels them, and moves them in covered vehicles across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane, with your files in order from start to finish.
3. Indexing and Barcode Tracking
Every carton is given a unique ID and logged in a searchable index. You can see what is stored, in which box and where, without opening a single carton.
4. On-Demand Retrieval and Re-filing
Need a 2019 purchase order or an old employee file? Raise a request, and we deliver the file or carton to your office. When you are done, we take it back and re-file it in its place.
5. Document Scanning and Digitisation (on request)
Frequently used records can be scanned into searchable digital copies, so your team gets instant access while the originals stay safely archived.
6. Records Retention Support
We help you tag boxes with a retention period so you always know what must be kept and what can go.
7. Secure Shredding and Destruction
When retention periods end, records are destroyed in a controlled, documented way, so confidential information never ends up in a scrap pile.
8. Office Shifting with Records Handling
Moving your Mumbai office? Our packers and movers handle your furniture, IT equipment and records together, so important files arrive in order at your new address.

Why Mumbai Businesses Choose Suraksha for Record Storage
Built for Mumbai conditions. The city's heavy monsoon and coastal humidity are hard on paper. Damp causes mould, curling, fading and silverfish. Our storage is organised to keep records off the floor, away from walls and in sealed cartons, so your files stay readable.
Space and rent savings. Moving archives out of prime commercial space can free up room for desks, meeting rooms or revenue-generating use. Storing records offsite costs a fraction of the rent on the area they occupy.
One partner for moving and storing. Most record companies don't move offices. We do both. A single team can pack, transport, store and return your records, so there is no handover gap between vendors.
Confidentiality first. Our staff handle sealed cartons, access to storage areas is restricted, and every movement of your boxes is logged. A confidentiality undertaking can be signed before work begins.
Flexible plans. Store ten cartons or ten thousand. Pay for the space you use, for the period you need, from a few months to several years.
Fast response. For urgent retrievals, we work to your timeline across Mumbai, from South Mumbai to the Western and Central suburbs and Navi Mumbai.

Records Retention: Know What to Keep and for How Long
Different records need different retention periods. Some general pointers (always confirm with your CA or legal adviser for your business):
- Books of account and financial records: The Companies Act, 2013 requires companies to preserve books of account for a minimum period (generally eight financial years).
- GST records: GST law requires registered businesses to keep records for a defined period after the due date of the annual return.
- Income tax and TDS records: Keep supporting documents until assessments and limitation periods are closed.
- Employee and payroll files: Keep them for the period required by labour laws and your company policy.
- Personal and customer data: India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 puts the focus on how organisations store, use and erase personal data, which makes controlled storage and certified destruction more important than before.
Tagging each carton with a destruction date means you never keep records longer than needed or destroy them too early.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is record and information management?
It is the systematic handling of your business records through their lifecycle, from storage and tracking to retrieval and secure destruction, so documents are protected, findable and compliant.
How much does document storage cost in Mumbai?
Cost depends on the number of cartons, how long you store them and how often you need retrieval. Share your volume and we'll send a free, itemised quote.
Is offsite storage cheaper than keeping records in my office?
In most Mumbai commercial areas, yes. Office rent per square foot is far higher than warehouse storage rates, so moving archives out frees valuable space and lowers overall cost.
How do you keep documents safe during the monsoon?
Records are packed in sealed cartons, kept off the ground and stored away from walls and damp areas. This protects paper from moisture, mould and pests.
Can I get a file back quickly if I need it urgently?
Yes. Because each carton is indexed, we can locate it fast and deliver it to your Mumbai address. Tell us your urgency when you book.
Do you destroy documents securely?
Yes. When a retention period ends, and only with your written approval, we destroy records through a controlled process so confidential data cannot be recovered.
Can you scan my documents too?
Yes. We can digitise selected records so your team has quick digital access while originals stay in storage.
Can you handle record storage and my office relocation together?
Yes. This is where we stand apart. We pack, move and store your records along with your office shifting, with one team and one point of contact.
How long can I store my records?
As long as you need: a few months, several years or on an ongoing basis. Plans are flexible and can be extended.
Is there a minimum quantity?
No. Small businesses with a few cartons and large organisations with thousands are both welcome.
