Hello,

One thing you should understand that name at this state can not be changed in your educational certificates.

Get the name corrected in AADHAR and make an affidavit that is the name of father is one amd the same.

See even if your father keep only as Mahesh Chandra then also different documents with different names would subsist.

I advice you to go one by one.

Firslty, make an affidavit disclosing all the details and the new surname.

Secondly, give an advertisement in two local and one national newspaper.

Thirdly, then start with voter id card request with the copy of the same affidavit.

Lastly, process may be lengthy but would give peace to your mind eventually.

Sir,

Simply publish one notice through a Advocate in two leading English and Hindi News papers, saying all the names correct and incorrect are of your father and his correct name is MAHESH CHAND, further you can also apply for publication in the GAZZETTE of India managed by the publication department of India. Then you can get the names corrected in the concerned departments like Aadhar, voter, ration, banks etc through the above publications.

You can rectify the name in the aadhar card with the correct name by complying with the necessary formalities for that.

You can also prepare an affidavit stating both the names are one and the same.

The notarised affidavit along with a newspaper public notice will suffice the requirement.

You can confirm from the authorities about this.

If bank pass book is not accepted then you may have to look for a substantial proof.
