Surname adding Surname adding

My son is studying in Class VIII in a private school affiliated to CBSE .So before the registration process of boards exams which usually takes place in class 9th we decided to add surname in my childs name and as per rules we have updated the same in his aadhar card and also provided affidavit for it to school so why this hazard like situation school is creating .The school is asking me to follow all those procedure i.e. Affidavit signed by Magistrate, publish in two news papers and then get it published in India Gazette. In fact these procedures are followed if the applicant's 10th certificate is issued already (as per CBSE revised rule 2015). Don't understand why I have to do all these things for a Class 8 student!

A.Since adding a surname to a person's name, it is changing that person's complete personal identity therefore a person who uses a new name or surname should execute an affidavit for same and identical person before the first class judicial magistrate and then that person should publish the same in the local newspaper (English and Bengali/ Hindi) and finally publish the same information in the official Gazette of India. This procedure is mandatory for all the citizens of India for adopting a new name or surname and using the same in future.
