Railway authorities have announced new baggage allowance policies for train travelers, establishing clear weight limits across different classes of service.
Under the new regulations, passengers traveling in AC Sleeper class will be permitted to carry up to 50 kilograms of luggage free of charge. Meanwhile, those in Business, Standard, and Economy classes will have a 20-kilogram free baggage allowance.
The railway administration has made it clear that passengers exceeding their designated weight limits will face additional charges and penalties. Officials stated that strict enforcement measures will be implemented to ensure compliance with the new policy.
Notably, certain items have been excluded from the free luggage allowance. Electronics, commercial goods, and animals will not be counted under the free baggage limit and may be subject to separate charges or restrictions.
This move is seen as part of broader efforts to streamline railway operations and manage cargo capacity more efficiently. The new regulations aim to create a more organized system for baggage handling while ensuring fair usage across different passenger classes.
Railway officials have advised passengers to familiarize themselves with the new rules before traveling to avoid any inconvenience or unexpected charges at stations. The policy is expected to be implemented in phases across the railway network.
Passengers are encouraged to check with railway authorities for specific details regarding their travel class and any special circumstances related to their luggage requirements.
