Railway Luggage Limit 2025: Indian Railways has fixed the luggage limit for its passengers. Railways has said that the luggage limit will be different for passengers of each class. It is important for those traveling after April 1 to know this. Indian Railways carries around 3 crore passengers daily. All these passengers are allowed to travel with their own luggage.

For millions of people traveling in India’s vast railway network, knowing this is as important as booking tickets. According to official Indian Railways rules, free luggage allowance is decided according to the travel class. For example, if you are traveling in first class, you can carry the most luggage, while the luggage limit is the lowest for second sitting class or general class passengers.

What is the limit in AC First Class?

Railways allows AC First Class passengers to carry up to 70 kg of luggage without any extra charge. Similarly, AC 2-tier passengers are allowed to carry up to 50 kg of luggage, while AC 3-tier and Sleeper class passengers are allowed to carry up to 40 kg of luggage. Obviously, the Railways does not charge any extra fare or money from those who travel with so much luggage.

What is the limit for General Class?

If you are traveling in the general bogie or second sitting class of the train, then the Railways has given the least relaxation for carrying luggage in it. This limit of luggage for general bogie is just 35 kg. This means that if you are traveling in general bogie or on general ticket, then you can carry only up to 35 kg of luggage with you.

If you have to carry more weight…

According to the rules of the railways, if a passenger has to carry luggage weighing more than the prescribed limit, he will have to book a luggage van in advance. You can carry any amount of luggage in the luggage van. But, if you are carrying luggage weighing more than the prescribed limit of the railways, then the railways can charge a fine for this. This amount can be one and a half times the normal rate charged by the railways on luggage. For example, if the railways rate is Rs 10 per kilogram, then it can charge you a fine of Rs 15 per kilogram.

Size is also important along with weight

Railways not only charge the fee based on the weight of the luggage, but it is also decided based on its size. Railways have also fixed the size of the luggage. Railways allow only 100 cm X 60 cm X 25 cm (length X width X height) size trunk, suitcase and box luggage in passenger coaches. If the luggage is bigger than this, it will be included in the category of heavy luggage.
