Under the revised system, carrying luggage weighing up to 40 kg on the head will now cost ₹80 per trip. Passengers who face overcharging can lodge complaints with railway officials.

The updated fees for porters are as follows:
Carrying a head load up to 40 kg: ₹80 per trip
Using a two-wheeled trolley for loads up to 120 kg: ₹130 per trip
Using a four-wheeled trolley for loads between 120 kg and 160 kg: ₹150 per trip
Charges for Assisting Sick or Disabled Passengers
Special charges have also been fixed for helping sick or disabled passengers:
Carrying a sick or disabled passenger on a chair or stretcher by two licensed porters/helpers: ₹130
