You can change name in official Gazette it will not affect your service or property. It's better to get a decree from court filing suit for declaration and direction to all concerned authority including in documents to change.your name accordingly. That way you can get all documents to.reflect your new name.
Lawyer fee will depend on the quality of lawyer you appoint.
Being a government servant it is not at all advisable to change name , more so, for the sake of any business venture or to avid any prosecution.
For normal anomaly in spelling of name or surname it is alright.
But do not alter your identity by change of name itself.
