Key Takeaway & Summary

Before locking your booking token, verify shoot dates, start times, crew size, deliverable turnaround, and official payment instructions sent from verified channels.

1. Insist on Written Confirmation of Date and Shift Hours

Confirm exact reporting times, shift duration (e.g., 8-hour shift vs. 12-hour full-day), and overtime rates. For events spanning multiple sessions (e.g., morning haldi and evening reception), confirm whether the gap between events is included in the shift.

2. Verify Official Payment Channels and Avoid Impersonation

At Tasvirwala, payment instructions are never generated automatically through third-party unverified gateways. Instructions are delivered strictly through our official business WhatsApp (+91 72728 90007) and verified by our operations team. Never transfer money to unverified personal UPI IDs.

3. Understand the 20% / 30% / 50% Milestone Structure

Our stated milestone arrangement provides transparency: a 20% token to confirm the date and creator availability, a 30% pre-shoot payment, and a 50% final payment upon post-production completion prior to full-resolution deliverable release. All payments are confirmed manually after discussion on your confirmation call.
