Here are some tips that will help you to make an informative decision on how you should take your bike on train (or not).Its purely based on my recent experience. Pictures of forms and my bike being packed are at the end of the answer. (Sent my bike on 25Nov2017)Pre-requisites:In order to take the bike, you must have:Documents- Carry bike RC & Insurance paperYour ID Card- Aadhar card, Driving License, Passport, etc. (Any one)There are two ways to take the bike:As a LuggageAs a ParcelNOTE: Costing of luggage is 25% more than that of parcel.i.e. if parcel of bike costs you 1000 then same will cost 1250 if sent as luggage.Both these methods are explained in detail below-As a Luggage:In this method, you can take your bike as your luggage in the parcel van of the train. You need a confirm reserved ticket for this.Just reach the railway station 3–4 hours before the departure of the train. Go to the Parcel office to pay for the extra luggage (motorcycle).Get the ticket for your bike and delivery challan (slip) which you will be required to show while collecting the bike at the destination station.Make sure you keep the delivery slip properly. Because if you loose it you might have to go a very long procedure to get your bike! (Court affidavits etc). This may be even a bigger problem if the bike is not under your nameAverage Cost:Upto 500 kms = 1200 rsUPto 1000 kms = 1700 rsUpto 2000 kms = 3000 rsBenefits of this method:Quickest way to travel with the bike!Bike travels in same train as yours. You can check how its kept in the parcel van. You can keep a check on packing quality of the bike.You get the bike as soon as you de-board at the destination! So you don't have to make additional visits to the railway station!Perfect for travelers who are going on a vacation for few days or just a couple of weeks! You get the bike as soon as you get down at your destination and save money on public transport! :)Cons of this method:Cost: Bit expensive as compared to parcel method (discussed below)Managing the whole thing:You have to take the headache of unload the bike from parcel van if your destination station is not the last stoppage of the train.Yes, many a times the railway porters may miss to unload because of any reason (short stoppage time of the train etc). This may create a lot of trouble for you as if missed the bike will go to the last station of the train and then come back after a few days.Other tips:This method is very good and appropriate for short term trips!Try to book ticket in a train where your destination station is the last stop of the train. This way it will be easier for you to getting the bike unload without any hassles and hurries!2. As a ParcelThe parcel method is like sending a snail mail.Features and how it works:Take the bike to the parcel office (most important major railway station have it) during the working hours and register the parcel. Make sure you go for booking at least a 2–3 days in advance so that you don’t have to wait for it for next couple of days. Take the delivery challan slip.The bike will be sent in any train to the destination station and will reach in around 4-5 days or earlier depending upon the distance.Average Cost:500 kms : 700 rs1000 kms : 1200 rs25% less than luggage costing.Packing charges and types:Packing is one of the most crucial part. Mostly, people just tie a plastic bag to do a formality. But trust me you are definitely going to regret later of you don't get it done properly.Packing can be done by agents nearby parcel office, they charge you from 300/- to 1000/-To be specific :Basic packing- They wrap handle of the bike using a plastic bag and sack cloth (bora or bori). Its cheapest and useless. You can just do it yourselves too. (Goes for 200-300/-)Medium packing - They wrap up multiple layer of cardboard box to the handle and front which ensures no damage to headlights indicators and handle too. Along with that they will wrap up all the body parts which are exposed, except tyres only. Along with that they will wrap up the vehicle from below too and stitch it. Its best for medium ranged bikes like Splender, Passion the one with less fibre parts. (Goes for 600-800/-)Maximum secure packing- They wrap up all body parts, using cardboard box layers followed by plastic bags along with sack cloth. Almost each and every part will be covered head to toe with multiple layers. Also some use dry grass or bottles which acts as shock absorbers. Its the best and is more than sufficient for sports bikes too. (Goes for roughly 800–1000/-)FAQsCan I take bike which is not in my name?Yes, of course you can! You just need the original papers of the bike to carry along with you! Just to avoid any problems you can get letter of authority from the ownerDo I have to pay bribes to get the bike on/off the train?Hard to say, in most cases without bribe would be fine! In some cases the porters may ask you for an extra tip and if given give more care to your vehicle. It is just a bad practice followed. Try to stay firm and polite if they ask for any such requests.Will my bike be damaged?Little bit here and there! Possible! May or may not have any scratches at all!If your bike is shining new with very fragile parts then it would be very vulnerable to getting damaged because the parcel van is filled with small/big parcels of different sizes and type.Also depends upon the care by the porters while loading it in the train. So make sure you get it well packaged and stand when they are loading the bike in your train.How long can I keep bike at station?For parcel there is 6 hours of time window to collect after that they will charge penalty of 10/-per hour. Office closes at 5pm, collect it by 5pm if train arrives before 5pm.Can I keep fuel in tank?Strictly no. If fuel is found in any case you will be penalised 1000/- by the officer at receiving end. Get fuel arranged on destination station and fill later.What if I don't receive my bike at the station?Most probably your destination isn't the last stop of the train. In such cases when your destination is on mid way depending on the quantity and time there are chances your bike would be left untouched. Its your sole responsibility to get you bike from the goods wagon, person responsible will be present there along with labours. In case, you missed the bike it will be delivered when train returns on same route.Edit1: I am adding snaps of the forms I filled while handing over the bike at Jaipur Junction and while receiving it at Lucknow Junction.Forwarding Note for General Merchandise (look for the value of the bike mentioned in right near my thumb, 1% of it is charged in the bill)2. Parcel Way Bill / Luggage Ticket (look for the Train number and time mentioned using blue ink at the top)3. Form for Entry for GST Manual Transaction of Receipt4. Gate Pass (penalty for delay is mentioned in it- see the marked circle that is penalty for 20hours @Rs10/hr)Now some snaps of bike unpacked and packed:Pulsar 200NS (My bike)2. Near Parcel office Jaipur JunctionAfter bargaining I paid them 800 in total including 50 for the rectangular small plate hanging in front of my bike which contains details.Don't trust the people out there when it comes to loading and unloading. Its total mess, they will dump the vehicle carelessly so get it done yourself. The packing I got done is the best possible and not even a single scratch was there after I received it. In my opinion, go for Luggage booking and get it packed properly and then if you want to send even a high rev bike its going to be fine.If you have any questions feel free to comment, I hope I mentioned almost everything in here. It will be of great help for the ones planning to do so.Edit 2: Thanks for upvotes and 32k views its motivating. Sorry for the delayed answers for your questions in the comment.GUYS ITS MY REQUEST PLEASE DON’T SUPPORT THE RAILWAY STAFF WHO ASK FOR BRIBE AND STAY FIRM AND POLITE TO GET THE JOB DONE.ITS WE WHO ADDICT THEM TO BRIBE AND AS A RESULT THEY THINK EVERYBODY WILL HAVE TO PAY THEM AND TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. ONE STEP OF YOURS WILL AMPLIFY WITH TIME AND I BELIEVE IT WILL IMPROVE THE SYSTEM IN AND OUT EVENTUALLY.Hit UPVOTE if you found it useful! ;)

Today was my German Student Visa Interview, i.e. 01/07/2019.My appointment was at 10:45 A.M. at German Consulate, Mumbai. I had left home early at around 7:15 A.M., but alas, heavy rains made me a bit late, as I had planned that I would be reaching the consulate by 10:00 A.M. in the worst case, but that didn’t happen, I reached just 2–3 minutes prior to my appointment and was about to miss the timing. So, please during heavy rains start extra half an hour early if you stay far away, like me, as I stay in Navi Mumbai.After the security checks, I handed over the asked documents at the counter, They were:1.Visa Interview Receipt2.Passport3.Demand Draft4.2 duly filled demand draft forms5.1 PhotoAfter submiting these required documents, I was given a token along with the guidelines about how to arrange the documents. I was also returned the documents except for photo, if I remember. I was also told to write my name, mobile number and passport number behind the demand draft. Please do not stick your photos on the application form. They will tell you when to do it.Then, I had to arrange the entire documents according to their guidelines at the waiting area. I was a bit nervous though, as I was alone and a single mistake in missing the document would affect my visa approval. So, anyways I was told to arrange the documents in order.First was Demand Draft, then 2 duly filled demand draft forms, then additional legal and contact information form.Then I had to make 2 copies of all the documents which I had carried with me. ‘I am just mentioning the documents, which they had asked for (they are not in order).They had asked for Application Form, Declaration on True and Correct Information Form, Admission Letter, Confirmation of payment of fees, Admission Contract, Embassy Letters, Health Insurance, Class 10 Marksheet, Class 12 Marksheet, Diploma Certificate (If applicable), Bachelor’s degree certificates (if applicable), Blocked Account information (if applicable), Bank Statements, Identity copies of sponsorers with their signs (Passport and PAN Card only), affidavit of sponsorship, cover letter (signed), motivation letter, IELTS/TOEFL certificate if applicable, German proficiency certificate and your passport copies. Make sure you sign all the copies of your passport.After arranging the above documents in the order as mentioned by them, you need to wait for sometime until you are called. Then you need to go to a counter for submitting your documents. The Visa Officer will first ask you to submit the passport with token, application form and photos. Then the Visa Officer will ask you to submit all the documents which are in 2 sets. Then that person will go through each and every document. Meanwhile, they will ask some general questions as well.The following questions were asked to me:What will you be studying in Germany? Which university?Where do you stay?What is your highest education qualification, how much did you score?Where is your university?Do you have a blocked account?What is the medium of instruction for your course?Tell me your motivation in one line.What is the duration of your stay in Germany? (If you are going for foundation course (Studeinkolleg), which I would be doing, you should also include the period you would spend in Germany after your foundation course. Like for me, one year is studeinkolleg, then 3 years of bachelor's, so it's a total of 4 years. This is vital as it will decide whether you are going there for a long period of time or not and this will decide you will come under which category, for long term visa it is category-D.Where would you be studying after Studeinkolleg?Do you know any German?After these questions, the visa officer was done with seeing the documents. The visa officer had not asked for my parent's bank statements, Income Tax Returns, Affidavit of sponsorship as I had already paid the fees well in advance, so my process was quite fastracked.They just asked 3 original certificates, viz. Class 10 mark sheet, Class 12 mark sheet and IELTS certificate in my case.After all these formalities, I was handed over the documents which were not needed by the visa officer. I was then told to fill a questionnaire and write a motivation letter on the back of the questionnaire. The motivation letter was supposed to include Why Germany as your study destination?, About your course and your future plans after your course. The questionnaire was quite simple and had just general questions. Only, 1 thing I would recommend you is that learn some names of few scientists of your field of study as that was asked on the questionnaire.After this, I was handed over the receipt of payment of Visa Fees, the passport was stamped with the date of visa interview and the type of visa category which in my case is a category-D and was told to get my passport stamped at the nearest VFS Centre, once I get my visa approved. It was also told that I should not contact the consulate for upto 90 days regarding my visa decision and that they will take up to 90 days for getting my visa approved. However, don’t get scared that they will take so many days, they give it usually within 3 weeks as well, as it was the case with some people.After that, I was told that all my documents have been accepted.Looking forward to getting a positive response and get my visa approved. But, I have a gut feeling that it would be accepted as I have already paid the fees and have not left any documentation incomplete.Tip: Don't staple any document, just use office pins/U-pins for distinguishing one document from one another. However while submitting the documents, remove all the pins. Carry 2 photocopies of all the documents and take extra copies of demand draft forms, declaration of true and complete information form, additional contact, and legal representation form as if there are any errors you can get them rectified over there. Do check the visa fees properly as I saw many people had committed this mistake and bought the DD of incorrect amounts, leading them to go back. Also bring as many documents as possible, as you never know what they may ask. They had not asked for air tickets, though I had booked it. So, it's your choice whether you want to book the air tickets before the visa interview or not.If you have any queries, do ask me.P.S. I am going to Germany for a bachelor’s, hence the one-year foundation course (Studeinkolleg).All the best for your Visa Interview.Edit: My visa got accepted on 04/07/2019, which is unbelievable.Do watch my YouTube videos related to German student visa as I have given the enitre process of obtaining the visa in detail.Please subscribe to my channel.🙏
