How to change my Indian Railway boarding point online?
I booked my ticket from Kolkata (KOAA) to Malda Town (MLDT). But by mistake I gave boarding point at Barddhaman (BWN) which is the very next station after Kolkata and there is no other stoppage in between these two stations. How to solve this problem?
Best Answer
so you want to go from kolkata to malda town? But you booked from barddhaman? From my experience of booking indian trains you cannot change the station, you just have to buy a new ticket. However if you are doing it with enough time in advance you can get a refund on your original ticket.
So either you get a refund for the whole ticket and buy a new one or you buy a new ticket to get from kolkata to bardhhaman only, then you will have your full journey. The second option may be easier.
