A.Hi,.
Broadly classified, the procedure for name change involves only three steps:
-Make an affidavit for change of name
-Place newspaper advertisement with details of change of name
-Submit papers to The Department of Publication
To change name by oneself, the first and foremost criteria to be met by a name change applicant is that he/she should be over 18 years age. The procedure is different for the name change of a minor.
An individual looking to change his/her name has to keep the below documents ready for the publication of change of name advertisement in the Gazette of India.
-An affidavit duly signed by the applicant and attested by Judicial Magistrate/Notary.
-Original newspaper in which name change ad is given.
-Prescribed proforma (should be computer typed and not handwritten) with signatures of applicant and two witnesses.
-A C.D. (compact disc) that contains the soft copy (typed content, not a scanned copy) of the application in MS Word format. In the place of signature of applicant, the applicant’s old name has to be given and witness details need not be included.
-A certificate in which the applicant declares that the contents included in both soft copy and hard copy are similar. The applicant should duly sign the certificate.
-Two passport size photographs, both self-attested by the applicant.
-A photocopy of a valid ID proof, self attested by the applicant.
-A request letter along with the requisite fee as per the Authority.

A.HI
In India, a change of name application has to be submitted to the concerned department called Gazette
of
India, which officially issues Notification certifying that your Name Change process has been completed
and
the same is binding on all departments whether private or government as far as name is concerned.

steps in order to change your name legally.
