    Hi Rashmi,

    If you take a look at the article above, you'll immediately find out that the hand baggage allowance for economy is one item of hand baggage weighing up to 5 kg whereas the checked baggage allowance for all routes apart from routes from/to the Americas is 20 kg/44 lb. If you want to be entirely sure that no exception applies to the route you're about to fly, you'd better send an e-mail to the customer service.
    Good luck!
