Can I board the train before the specified boarding point if I have a reservation?

No we can not board before boarding point.
My experience I booked a ticket from Maniyachi station to Egmore Chennai and opt to board at Kovilpatti in Pearl city express.

But due to unavoidable circumstance I boarded at Maniyachi itself.
While TTR checking he informed it is liable to impose penalty and warned me. I am not eligible to travel between Maniyachi and Kovilpatti he added.

Most probably, you won't be able to. Let's see it this way. Suppose the train is going these stations A, B and C. You booked a ticket from A to C while your boarding is B. So if you want to board at the station A from where you have booked the ticket, There are 90% chances that that seat has been reserved for somebody else who is travelling from A to B.

So basically it all depends on the route and availability of the seat. If the train route is short you should be able to board at station A.
