Valid external measurements: Length 100 cm, Width 60 cm, Height 25 cm.

The Railway Minister clarified that carrying commercial goods in a coach in the name of personal travel is against the rules. Booking of such items can be done only under parcel arrangement.
Railway experts believe that this will stop illegal transportation of goods and inconvenience to passengers.
Importance of rules for passengers
Every day lakhs of people travel by train. Excess luggage not only takes up space but can also become a danger in an emergency. The prescribed rules will provide better facilities to passengers, reduce crowding and chaos in coaches, and make it easier to follow safety standards.
In the coming time, Railways may increase information at stations and ticket booking platforms to make passengers aware of these rules.
