It is Road Side Quota. In case of each road-side station quota, berths/seats are booked by the originating station for journeys up-to the road-side station only up-to the extent of accommodation earmarked for that Road-Side quota .In such cases, distance restriction does not apply. If that berths/seat is redefined from a remote location, then booking can also be done beyond the road side station, within the limits defined for the remote location quota. In no case can a through passenger be given accommodation in the RS berth and the redefined portion. For eg., a passenger traveling from NDLS to MAS cannot be given accommodation in a berth defined as GNRS up-to BPL and subsequently redefined as GN from BPL to MAS.
If you travel from the starting station of the train up to an intermediate station, you may be issued ticket from the RS quota or the Road Side Quota. But many a time this quota is merged with General quota and hence we don't get to see this quota separately.
In the case Howrah New Delhi Rajdhani Express via Gaya, if you purchase a ticket from Howrah to Allahabad, you purchase a ticket from the starting to an intermediate station. So your ticket is issued from the road side quota.

many thanks bibek sir for providing this elaborate reply but many a times rswl quota is also allotted from stations other than the originating station...
