Indian Railways: There is good news for railway passengers. Now you can catch a train from any other station instead of the original railway station. Railways will not charge you any fine for this. To change the boarding station, you have to make changes to your ticket, otherwise, you may be fined.
Boarding stations can be converted into booked tickets
Sometimes suddenly there is a need to change the boarding station. For example, due to the boarding station being far away from the reach of the passenger, there is also the fear of missing the train. Therefore, if the train stops at the station close to the reach of the passenger, then the passenger can revise his boarding station.
Keeping this need of the passengers in mind, IRCTC gives the facility to change the boarding station. This facility of IRCTC is for all those passengers who have booked train tickets online and not through travel agents or Passenger Reservation System. Apart from this, a change in the boarding station cannot be done in PNRs of the VIKALP option.
