Change of boarding point after seat reservation How to change passenger boarding station on the same train

A passenger can change his boarding point but have to abide by the boarding rules and regulations as stated by the railway authority.

Suppose you have a confirmed ticket in a train between Delhi to Mumbai. Now, you may want to (for any reason) board the train not in Delhi but Kota which is may be 2nd or 3rd station from Delhi, depending on the number of stops of that train.

Normally people who don't know about this rule they would cancel the ticket and get a new ticket from Kota to Mumbai.
But the fact is that You can simply change your boarding station on the same train.

Please look in to the below rules.

CHANGE OF BOARDING POINT :

If a passenger desires to occupy reserved accommodation from any station enroute, he would be permitted to entrain at any intermediate station he chooses irrespective of the distance from the starting station

Subject to the following conditions :
1. A specific request must be made in writing at the station from where the ticket is purchased and reservation made atleast 24 hours before the scheduled departure of the train from the starting station.
