1. You can take it along.
2. You need to book your scooter in the same train.
3. Cost shd be around 1K or less.
4. Empty tank. Petrol not allowed.

is the booking a prior booking or the same day one ?

I'll recommend Pre-booking if u want to make sure that it is transported with you.

hey me and my scooter reached safely..
i just wanted to share the information and other things related to the transportation -

From Delhi -

1. No pre booking required, just be there at the parcel counter 4 hrs before the departure of the train.

2. Carry photocopies of the registration certificate as well as your identity proof.

3. Railway charges approx 1 Re. per km of the total distance.

4. Along with the distance charge they will charge 10% of the remaining value(depreciation) of your vehicle and minimum charge of weight is 200 kgs (approx. Rs. 100).

5. Packing charges of your machine will be around Rs. 100 - 150.

6. Beware of the agents.

My brother has moved to another city. I need to send his bike to him. Bike is in his name. Can I transport it through Indian Railways?

I have transported my bike once but this bike's RC is in my brother's name, will that be an issue with Railways?

No issues related to transportation of bike of someone others name, as my scooter which i took to mumbai is registered with my dad name. its just that if you are not going in the same train and you just sending your bike then the cost will be more. You need to give your ID proof.

Thanks. What was the approximate cost involved in sending from Delhi to Mumbai? Did they also ask you for bribe like they did to me when I sent my bike as luggage?

Isnt the cost less in case of parcel (not travelling in the same train) than in case of taking it as luggage (travelling in the same train). I think that is what was told me the last time when I transported my bike as luggage with me.

Yes...You do need to take a NOC(prolly 250bucks) inorder to prevent Cops looting Rs.xxxx amounts of money whenever you get caught there and it lasts for about 6months.

I am moving from one state to another, not sure for how long I will stay there. I am not even sure if I will get my bike registered again. I have a few questions. What exactly is the document called NOC. I know it is a certificate from the current RTO that the bike is free from any kind of issues. What I would like to know is what exactly that document is? Is it form 28? Or, it is just a seal of RTO on the original RC? I want to know if I can get NOC made now and then not use it, in case I dont want to register it anywhere later. Is that possible or will they put any mark/stamp on the original RC and then I will have to register it for sure somewhere else? Secondly, what is the validity period of NOC once made?

Has anyone here transported their bike Via train while traveling in the same train?

I am looking at traveling by train and transporting my bike via the same train. My start station is the starting station so there should not be any issue while loading it in. But my destination is not the terminal station have to get off at a station that has a 20 minutes halt.

Any input on this? Procedures involved with this as I will be booking my ticket in the next 2-3 days.
