I want birth certificate as per my choice of name
Dear Sir/Madam, We live in Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation area in Pune city (Maharashtra). We have a daugher of 2.5 years old. She was born on 25th October 2016. I have applied for her birth certificate with the format- "Name Father-Name Mother-name". But the concerned authorities have given the certificate with format; "Name Father-Name My-Surname", which we don't want. Now, they are telling that we give certificate in this format only, even our software does not support such name formats! Actually, we don't want the surname in her name. We want to know, the laws which will support us to get expected format of birth certificate.

Birth certificate always reflects surname of the child
you cannot have birth certificate in format desired by you without court orders
Two questions: 1. The affidavit of name change is not acceptable for Aadhaar card, as we enquired. So what to do? 2. South Indian names don't carry their surnames. How they get their birth certificates?

Dear sir,
Go to a municipal office nearer to you. Take the application form regarding the name change.
Go to local notary and make an affidavit. Specify the strong reason for change of name. This affidavit is used for changing first or last name or complete name. After the affidavit is prepared, submit it at municipal Office along with old birth certificate, Address proof, remaining proofs as well. Within 15 to 20 days, you will get your new birth certificate

However, in order to have the name format as desired by you, you need to get the same from obtaining orders from Competent Court of law.
Other way round you can get the desired name published in the "Gazette" and intimating the General Public about the same by publishing in two local news papers one in local vernacular language and other in English language.
The Name shown in Gazette can be used by you, i.e., your chosen name.

You can avoid surname in other docuemtns but in BC it is mandatory to avoid confusion of paternity. Whatever documents you may apply for her,mention her name without surname. NO bar neither any affidavit require.
