Name related Name related

My mother's name is different on her personal documents like Aadhar and PAN. Her name is Mangal, but on my 10th marksheet, her name is mentioned as Sunita. During my admission, she submitted her name as Sunita, but her real name is Mangal. Recently, I applied for a passport and they mentioned Sunita as well. Apart from that, I am preparing for civil services. Will this create any issues in the future? In my documents, she is known as Sunita. What should I do?

A.Dear Client,
To resolve the issue related to the change or correction of your mother's name that appears differently in different documents legally, you need to pursue the following steps. 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name/surname, the desired name/surname, the reason for the change of surname, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A s/o B " and the "A s/o C" are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn preferably before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name/surname change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name/surname change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) After publishing the notification in the Gazette of India, the next step is to make out a name/surname change deed. The said deed is a legal document that confirms the name/surname change and includes the details of the old and new name/surname. The deed should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. 5) The final step is to submit the name/surname change deed to the relevant authorities for information and necessary corrections in records. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents, such as a copy of the Gazette notification and a copy of the affidavit for updating the records. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the name/surname change is recognized by the Passport Issuing Authority and other relevant authorities.
