In Indian railway reservation, while reserving tickets, we can select a particular station as boarding point(We can chose a from, a to and an optional boarding point). The boarding point indicates that we are going to board the train from that station only even if we have reservation from a previous station. This prevent the Train Ticket Examiner from giving the seat to some other person on behalf of my absence till the next station of specified boarding point.

My question is Can I board the train before the specified boarding point if I reservation from there?

Not a dupe of Boarding point change for an Indian rail reservation. I am aware of the feature to change boarding point. But while chart prepared, it is impossible to change it.
