• Name changed and property bought in old name

I have changed my name ( added surname )in 2019 and published in gazette . But I did not change my name in my official documents except passport , so when I bought property I bought in my old name in 2020. Is there any issue ? Do I need to changed my name in all my documents ? I did this name change because of passport as I was not allowed to get Visa for Europe . I do not want to change name in my other documents . In future can I change name in my adhaar and PAN using the same gazette copy .

Change your name in PAN Card , Aadhar card on basis of gazette notification 

 

you don’t need to change your name in educational documents as you had completed studies prior to name change 


deed of rectification can be executed for property purchased by you after name change

The purpose of changing the name itself is to use the same in future in all correspondences, what prevented you from using your new name?

Why do you complicate the simple things and create problem for yourself.

You can change your name in aadhar and PAN card but you cannot change your name in your educational certificates at this stage.

There is no particular purpose that you will change your name.

The change of name means that you will be known by new name from the date of the publication of the same in the gazette.

So you may have to undergo certain hardships while selling the proeprty which has your old name.

- As per law, one cannot change name in the educational certificates after two years from the date of passing the same. 

- Since, you have already got published in official gazette , then legally you can correct your name in all the documents after submitting the said notification . 

- Further , as you have purchased the property in old name , then if you will have any proof in the same name , then you will not face any issue in future as well.

1. AFTER Change of Name Proceedings (which is a legal proceedings) and publication of new name in Govt. Gazette , the old name becomes null & void and it is a prosecutable offence of Misrepresentation, Cheating, Swindling, Breach of Trust, etc.... to use old name or any other name.

2. After above legal proceedings, you have to use only your new name for all futuristic purposes, without any exceptions, whatsoever ....

3. BAsed on the Govt. Gazette, execute "Rectification Deed" for your property & other purposes.

If you have officially changed your name then it should be notified to the authorities. It may create trouble for you in the future.

Name change cannot be for a single purpose. It is a big change for all intents and purposes and everything should bear your changed name.
