Can I change boarding station after booking?

Yes. You can change boarding station once, online via IRCTC up to 24 hours before journey, free of charge. The new boarding station must be on the train's route.

Boarding station can be changed once per booking:

  • Through IRCTC website / app under "Manage Bookings".
  • At least 24 hours before the train's scheduled departure from the original boarding station.
  • The new boarding station must be a station the train stops at.
  • No fee for changing.

Important:

  • Once changed, you cannot board from the original station — only the new one.
  • If you miss the new boarding point, you cannot board from any other station on the same ticket.
  • For confirmed tickets only — not allowed for WL.

For counter tickets, visit a railway reservation office for boarding change.
