Railways: Now you can carry more luggage on trains without hassle; booking extra luggage is just a click away..

Whether embarking on a long train journey or traveling with family for a wedding, excess luggage often becomes a hassle for rail passengers. Booking luggage in the luggage van is typically considered a cumbersome task. However, you are now free from these inconveniences. Making rounds of the parcel office upon reaching the station, standing in long queues, and wasting time on paperwork will soon be a thing of the past. You will now be able to book and pay for your excess luggage online with a single click while booking your train ticket, and carry the extra luggage with you in the coach by paying the applicable charges.

The facility to book excess luggage online alongside the ticket will be available only to passengers holding confirmed tickets. Furthermore, it will apply only to those travel classes where there is a provision to carry excess luggage upon payment of a fee. Passengers traveling in AC First Class, AC 2-Tier, First Class, Sleeper Class, and Second Class will be able to avail of this facility. However, passengers traveling in AC 3-Tier and AC Chair Car will not have access to this facility, as the maximum permissible luggage limit and the free luggage allowance are identical in these classes.
