The document describes a Java program to calculate parcel shipping charges based on weight. It begins with an initial charge of Rs. 15 for the first 1KG. Any additional weight is charged Rs. 8 for every 500g or fraction thereof. The program takes a weight in KGs as input, calculates the remaining weight after deducting 1KG, determines the charge for full 500g increments and any fractional part, and outputs the total charge.
