Sir You are talking about only 1039 Maharastra Exp and on the behalf of only this train you made calculation that seat will be alloted from originating station quota not from boarding station quota is not correct for all the trains.
Your logic is correct for this train but this logic will not be applied to Tapovan Exp 7618.
As per you It happens with Mumbai PRS is correct but I want to modify it. Its not Mumbai PRS, Its western central railway which allows to change the passenger boarding point, because these...
more... days Indian Railway has given authority to decide whether to let change the boarding point while booking or not.
In case of 1039 Maharashtra Exp the PNR no will start from 8
Am I Right Sir?
But In case of 7618 Tapovan Exp the PNR no will start from 1(the starting blogger also gave his pnr no when I asked)
I am saying this because of my experience, because If you try to change the boarding point in PNR starting from 1 we will get status according to the boarding point.
Actually I am studying on boarding change rules for different zones & how this unique PNR no is generated by Indian Railways.
For further information you can refer to my earlier blog post no 12521
hope this clears all your doubts
@ MST IndianRailways
Sir in this case I am 101% sure that you will get ticket according to the boarding point status if you try to change the boarding point during booking.
The two cases suggested by you must be having PNR starting from 8, thats why the boarding change is possible.
Further discussion is welcome on the topic.
