An addressee who has moved and writes within those 10 days gets 5 more days to collect it.हुलाकले प्रत्येक बिमा वस्तुको छुट्टाछुट्टै रसिद दिन्छ र ठेगानावालाले दस्तखत गरेको फिर्ती रसिद प्रेषकलाई निःशुल्क पठाइन्छ। आगमन सूचना दिएको १० दिनभित्र ठेगानावालाले नलिएमा, लिन इन्कार गरेमा, ठेगानावाला नभेटिएमा वा मृत्यु भएमा, वा ठाउँ सरेर १० दिनभित्र पत्ता नलागेमा बिमा वस्तु प्रेषकलाई फिर्ता पठाइन्छ। सरेको ठेगानावालाले सो १० दिनभित्र लिखित सूचना दिएमा थप ५ दिनसम्म हुलाकमा राखिन्छ। Nepal Law Commission Rules 6, 7 and 8(क)-(ग), PDF pp. 2-3
