Yes, Definitely! All you need to do is visit the luggage office in your nearest railway station and fill some formalities. This would include declaring the value of the refrigerator, air conditioner and all the other items that you want to transport. You also need to mention how old these items are and the clerk there will calculate the charge of transportation. Depending on these factors, you will have to pay the charge for it. But, you need to know that, at many times, the items get damaged while travelling by rail transportation. I would suggest you opt for a professional movers and packers rather than transferring it through the train.

You can surely transport your belongings, even fridge and AC through the train. You will have to go to the railway station nearby then go to the parcel section landfill up the required details. But then, there’s a great risk of damage to your belongings. I would suggest you to go for professional movers and packers. They will pack and transfer your belongings without any damage.

Hi, As far as I know, the Ministry of Railways has set a limit to the luggage you can carry in a train. If you are here asking about how much luggage is allowed in train then let me tell you about it in great detail. The luggage weight differs for different classes. Here is the bifurcation for your reference:
Class Maximum Limit
1st AC 150 kgs
First class/AC-2 tier 100 kgs
AC 3 tier/ AC Chair Car 40 kgs
Sleeper Class 80 kgs
Second Class 70 kgs
You know household items shifting by train was quite common back in the day. People would often call up the railway officials with queries like: what are refrigerator parcel in train charges, how to send washing machine by train or how to transport furniture by train and what not. The answer was the same for all these things. You had to make a booking earlier with the railway parcel office and they would tell you the answers.  There is a booking form which needs to be filled and the required fee as directed by the officials is paid before handing over the parcel. Then the parcel is sent to the destination and you have to collect it from there. The charges weren’t higher as much as I remember, a mere amount of Rs. 100- Rs. 200 was deposited. But there was no guarantee whatsoever for your luggage. I have seen people waiting in long queues just to prove possession of the luggage or simply wanting a solution to damaged goods and sometimes, they didn’t even get their luggage back. The hassle involved is so much more. I believe instead of going through this toil, you must go online and make a booking with packers and movers. They will pick up luggage from your house and deliver it to the exact destination without any damage.  Check out NoBroker Packers and Movers services here

For a month I tried to convince my father to have a packers and movers service to get our household goods delivered but No. He was determined to send the goods by train as for him it is more reliable. Now my question was, if we are not travelling by train, who will take the guarantee that nothing will get stolen? But you actually cannot convince the elders. I had to know how to transport household goods by train so I started asking people about it. Luckily my senior has done this before so she was the one to guide me. The best part is that transporting goods by train is cheaper than by van or truck so yes, my father won.  Hire NoBroker Packers and Movers Service and get your goods transported without getting even a scratch on them  

Can we transport fridge in train?

I was really worried about how well the forge will be handled on the train but my senior said that she had parcelled the washing machine once and it was all good so I need not worry. You can visit the station and fill up the required form manually or else simply fill it online.

Hi Sujatha, To answer your query, “Can we carry TV in train?” I’d like to say that Yes, you can use trains to move your household goods. Indian Railway provides you with two choices for shipping your cargo: 1. Baggage 2. Package.

What is the Process of Shifting Household Goods in Train?

If you want to know the process of TV and fridge parcel by train, you can go through the below-given steps;
  • Make sure to use high-quality packaging materials to properly pack the items. The railway parcel office also offers packing services.
  • Visit the parcel booking office.
  • Provide accurate information when completing the forwarding note/parcel booking form.
  • Submit the package and the completed Forwarding Note together.
  • At the booking counter, the package will be weighed and the freight charges will be computed.
  • Receive the railway receipt after depositing the freight payments.
  • Proceed to the railway station's parcel office.
  • To pick up the things, take the original railway receipt to the parcel office.
  • It is important to remember to bring the package booking receipt, since officials will not release your items without it.
