Since the launch of Cleartrip’s train booking services, one of the top requests from our customers has been to allow them to specify a boarding station that is different from the booking station. The IRCTC site allows customers to book this way.
It’s a very handy feature because seat availability quotas differ from station to station. So, sometimes, the only way to get a confirmed seat is to book from a station other than the station where you’ll board the train–that station may have seats available. This particularly affects users that live in smaller cities, such as Pune, which is very close to the much larger city of Mumbai.
We’re thrilled to say that this has been available within Cleartrip’s train product for the past few weeks. To specify a different boarding station, just select the your preferred boarding station from the dropdown menu on step one of the booking process.
We hope this makes it easier than ever for you to book your train travel.
Interesting article=D hope to visit again!

This information is wrong. While booking, if no seats are available from boarding station, then you will get wait listed ticket, doesn’t matter whether the seats are available from the booking station or not.
I booked a ticket recently, my trip ID is 909102324. While booking, the reservation was available from Delhi but not from Bhopal. So I booked a ticket from Delhi till Bangalore and changed the boarding point as Bhopal, but I received wait listed ticket.
There is no way to change the Boarding point.
Sanjay,
Railways doesn’t have a standard rule for availability quota. For some of the trains (specifically trains originating from western railways), the availability quota of boarding station is different from that of booking station. This is true for tatkal tickets as well. For tatkal, availability changes based on the station you are boarding from. This may not be true for trains originating from northern and central railways.
is it possible to contact cleartrip through telephone like irctc for certain querry.

I booked a Train ticket on 15/04/10 for journey date-18/04/10.
Seat was not available from ROURKELA.(WL-16)
But seat was available from NUAGAON.(AV-7)
