Unlike in the 'normal circumstances', this is a different case - you are booking a one way ticket!! This reminded me of the time when I moved to US with a one way ticket - somewhere it has to compensate and this was the time. One way tickets don't add up so much as return trip included tickets but this is still a significant expense of the move.
Another issue is the luggage that can be carried over - with the single bag rule, it is definitely a significant inconvenience for a person getting relocated - mind that you have to live with your suitecases once the shipment is done (which can be a week in-advance) until your shipment arrives (which can be good two months of time once you arrive in India). Hence, the amount of items you can take with you makes a significant difference.
Most of the carries as of this writing have reduce to single bag but carriers like Cathy pacific and Singapore still allow two bags - be sure to mention this to the travel agent or you will be surprised at the end - you can always dispose off items before you fly out and buy new things in India. However, you will enough things to dispose off when you leave and enough things to do once you land - having the cloths, sleeping bags etc ready which can be used as soon as you land is a big relief.
