Many a times due to some unforseen circumstances passengers needs to change the boarding station of their journey or need to extend the destination station.Following are the cases which can explain the procedure for doing so.
Case 1: If the ticket is window ticket ,one can mention the boarding station different than the source station in the reservation form while booking the ticket.In case of e-ticket also this can be done at the time of booking through IRCTC user login.
Case2: If however,user has booked the ticket (either windows or e-ticket)and want to change the boarding station after booking is done,he can change it to any intermediate station enroute by submitting an application in written for the change of Boarding station along with the xerox copy of passenger ID.ID is must to avoid any stealing/fraud journey on the concerned ticket.This must be done 24 hours prior to scheduled departure of the train from the originating staion.No refunds would be done by IRCTC for the portion of journey not carried out by the passenger.
Case3: If the passenger wants to extend his journey to one of the stations ahead of his booked destination ,he can get it done by onboard TC while in journey.One has to pay additional charges for extending the journey as obvious and can collect the receipt for the same from TC.One however, may require to take the extended portion of journey in waiting if no vacant seats are available for the extended journey portion.
