A.Dear client,
Indian Constitution states that a person has the freedom to profess, practice and propagate any religion. As such, there is no legal procedure to convert the religion but the conversion must be notified in the Govt. Gazette so that it can be easily affected in all other legal documents. No law restricts the conversion of religions. Article 25 of the Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion to all citizens, including the right to change one's religion.

There are specific documents required to obtain the religion change certificate in India. These essential documents are listed below:
For Gazette Notification:
Copy of Affidavit
Copy of newspaper advertisement
Self-attested recent passport size photo
Copy of ID proof

For Religion Change Application:
Affidavit
Newspaper advertisement (Original Copy)
Conversion Certificate (Can obtain from your respective religious institution)
ID Proof: Passport, Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, or Driving License
Address Proof: Aadhaar, Ration Card, or Current Bill
Two passport size photo
Application: An application form with all necessary information and 2 witnesses and declaration.

Step 1 – Affidavit: First you have to make a religion change affidavit. An affidavit is an essential and legal document made on stamp paper that contains all necessary information about an applicant.
Step 2 – Newspaper Ad: The next step towards religious change you must give an ad in leading newspapers to assure there is no objection to changing your religion.
Step 3 – Gazette Notification: After doing the above-given steps, you will have to publish the same in the Gazette as it must be accepted and considered in the Government record.

Once you file for the Gazette application and then the religion change will be successfully published in the e-Gazette.
It is recommended to consult the lawyer to get all the procedures done in an easy way.
