• Wife's maiden name in sale agreement

Hi, 
I am planning to buy a resale property with my wife as Co-owner. We have a marriage certificate but we have not changed her name after marriage. Her name on Pancard has her fathers name as Middle name.

While executing the sale agreement is it fine to use her Maiden name only with her fathers name as Middle name?

Or is it advisable to use her "Maiden name" alias "Married name" even though there is no proof of name change to Married name? 

Example:
Wife's Maiden Name: Pooja Vinod Sharma
Husband's Name: Rahul Rathore

Wife's name in Agreement: 
Option 1- "Mrs. Pooja Vinod Sharma"
Option 2- "Ms. Pooja Vinod Sharma alias Mrs. Pooja Rahul Rathore"

No proof available with name"Mrs. Pooja Rahul Rathore"

- For registration purposes , an identity proof is needed at the time of execution of Sale deed. 

- Further , as she is having her name on Pan Card with fathers middle name , and no proof having with with name with Mrs. Pooja Rahul Rathore , then you cannot use this name at the time of execution of deed. 

- However , you can mention her name as given in option 2 legally , after declaring in an affidavit of Rs 10/- that her the said two name are same and of one person .

1. You may purchased jointly property with wife's name mentioning as "Pooja Vinod Sharma alias Pooja Rahul Rathore", based on your Marriage Certificate.  There is no legal restrictions on this.

2. However, the same sequence of names will have to be mentioned in all futuristic legal documents for the purposes of Sale /Gift /Transfer /Donate /Mortgage /whatever ....

3. However this name shall not be acceptable for purposes of Income Tax Returns and claiming LTCG, in future.  Here any type of affidavit will not be acceptable.

4. You are advised to follow proper married name "Pooja Rahul Rathore", to avoid any unforeseen futuristic legal disputes, on any kind.

You please be aware that there is no mandating the married woman to change their name after marriage. 

It is their choice to change their name after marriage but that is not legally valid until they follow the name change procedure as per law. 

Therefore without getting confused on this issue,  you may please proceed with her maiden name itself for all that good things you propose to undertake now.

You can better proceed with the first option of using her maiden name itself instead of getting into unnecessary legal hassles in future due to changes in the name.
