Corporate Diwali Gifting Checklist: Lead Times, GST Invoices and Branding

Ordering 50 or 5,000 hampers? Plan backwards from Dhanteras with this checklist for budgets, GST input credit, logo sleeves and multi-city dispatch.

Corporate Diwali Gifting Checklist: Lead Times, GST Invoices and Branding

Every year our corporate desk receives the same call in the third week of October: “We need 400 hampers by Friday.” It can be done, but the best gifting programmes start six weeks earlier.

Six weeks out

  • Fix the per-box budget (most teams land between ₹850 and ₹2,500 including GST).
  • Collect the employee or client address list in one spreadsheet with pincodes.
  • Decide on branding: logo sleeve, printed card or engraved wooden lid.

Four weeks out

Approve a physical sample. Confirm the GSTIN on the invoice so your finance team can claim input credit — food gifts to employees have specific rules, so check with your CA.

Two weeks out

Lock the dispatch plan. We pack bulk orders at our Bhiwandi fulfilment centre and ship by surface for metro cities and air for the North-East and J&K, so everything lands before Dhanteras.

What we include by default

  • One consolidated tax invoice with HSN codes
  • Delivery tracker shared as a Google Sheet
  • Free replacement for any box damaged in transit

Write to our corporate desk from the Corporate Gifting page and we will send a quote within one working day.
