Railways has also fixed some margin in case a passenger finds more than a certain amount of luggage during the journey, but if luggage heavier than this is found, there is a provision of a fine of six times the booking amount. Also, if banned items are found, action can be taken by RPF and GRP. There is a provision even for jail.
Do this if you have extra stuff
If the passenger has big and heavy luggage then he will have to book it by showing the ticket at the parcel counter. That luggage can be carried in the luggage vehicle.
