In the larger public interest and for the convenience and safety of travelling public and for the free movement of passengers on platform, maintenance of punctuality of trains, reduction in over-carriage of parcels, reduction in transit time of parcels and overall decongestion of platforms at railway stations, booking and carriage of parcels by passenger carrying trains was rationalized in February 2004. 2.0 Representations have been received from trade as well as from zonal railways to relax some of the conditions of rationalization scheme for booking and carriage of parcel traffic. This issue has been deliberated upon in Board’s office and it has been decided to make following changes in the existing rationalisation scheme for booking and carriage of parcel traffic : (i) Relaxation in booking of parcels for such stations having less than five minutes stoppage time of trains : Zonal railways may allow loading/unloading of parcels at intermediate stations even if the stoppage time of a train at that station is less than five minutes.

However, no trans-shipment will be permitted for parcels booked from those stations lying within 20 Kms. of the junction station. (iii) Relaxation in booking of parcel traffic involving unloading and re-loading (trans-shipment) at intermediate station : Booking and carriage of parcel traffic shall be permitted by other than direct trains i.e. involving unloading and re-loading (trans-shipment) of parcels at one junction station during transit subject to the following conditions : (a) The trans-shipment station must be situated within the jurisdiction of parcel originating zonal railway. (b) Only one such trans-shipment is allowed. (c) No such trans-shipment will be permitted for parcels booked from those stations lying within 20 Kms. of the trans - shipment station.
