Naam Change Kaise Kare | Gazette Procedure Puri Guide

Naam change karne ke 3 zaroori steps kya hain?

Bharat me legally naam badalne ke liye government ne ek standard 3-step process banaya hai jise har citizen ko follow karna hota hai:

Step 1: Name Change Affidavit Banwayein: Sabse pehle ek Rs. 10 ya Rs. 20 ke non-judicial stamp paper par affidavit draft karein. Isme aapko apna purana naam, naya naam, address aur naam badalne ka reason likhna hoga. Is affidavit ko ek authorised Notary Public se sign aur stamp karwayein.

Step 2: Newspaper Advertisement: Affidavit banne ke baad aapko do newspapers (ek local language paper aur ek English daily national newspaper) me naam change ka ad dena hoga. Is ad me aapka purana naam, naya naam, address aur affidavit ka date details hona chahiye. Is ad ki physical copies sambhal kar rakhein.

Step 3: Gazette Notification Application: Akhiri step me aapko sabhi documents (affidavit, newspaper cutting, digital CD jisme text file ho, passport photos aur print application) ko compile karke Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi me submit karna hoga. Aap ise personally submit kar sakte hain ya speed post se bhej sakte hain.

• Affidavit draft aur notarisation
• Do newspapers me advertisement (one local, one national)
• Gazette publication application aur fee payment

Naam change ke liye kaun se documents zaroori hain?

Central Gazette application file karte samay aapke paas niche diye gaye sabhi documents hone zaroori hain. Kisi bhi ek document ki kami ya mistake ki wajah se application reject ho sakti hai:

1. Original Notarised Affidavit (signed by applicant and notary).

2. Do original newspapers (full page, not just the cut-out ad).

3. Deed Changing Name Form (duly signed by applicant and two witnesses).

4. Digital CD (containing the exact text of the notification in .docx format).

5. Sworn Certificate confirming that the contents in the CD match the hard copy.

6. Two self-attested passport size photographs.

7. Identity and Address proof of the applicant (Aadhaar Card, PAN Card or Passport).

8. Government fee payment receipt (Non-tax receipt paid via Bharatkosh website).

• Original Affidavit aur original newspapers
• Witness signatures ke saath Deed Changing Name
• Bharatkosh government fee receipt copy

Government fees aur procedural cost kitni hoti hai?

Name change process me direct aur indirect dono costs shamil hoti hain. Humne niche common expense slab diya hai:

Government Gazette Fee: Aam citizens ke liye Central Gazette ki fee lagbhag Rs. 1,100 se Rs. 1,400 ke beech hoti hai (dependent on name type). Government employees ke liye extra charges lag sakte hain. Yeh fee Bharatkosh portal par online pay ki jaati hai.

Stamp Paper and Notary Cost: Rs. 100 se Rs. 300 tak (stamp paper value plus notary fees).

Newspaper Ad Cost: Yeh newspaper ke selection par depend karta hai. Local papers me Rs. 300 se Rs. 800 tak aur national dailies me Rs. 800 se Rs. 1,500 tak ka kharcha aa sakta hai.

Professional fees case-to-case basis par tay hoti hai. Inamdar Legal aapko nominal charge par draft aur verification bundle provide karta hai.

• Government Fee: Rs. 1,100 se Rs. 1,400 (Bharatkosh payment)
• Newspaper Ads: Rs. 1,000 se Rs. 2,000 (standard national/local rates)
• Notary and Stamp: Nominal local charges

Aadhaar Card, PAN aur Passport me corrections kaise karein?

Gazette notification hone ke baad hi aap dusre main identification documents me updates ke liye apply kar sakte hain:

Aadhaar Card Update: UIDAI ke rules ke mutabik ek vyakti apni life me sirf 2 baar hi Aadhaar me naam badal sakta hai. Isse zyada baar badalne ke liye exception process lagta hai jo bahut lamba hota hai. Aapko local Aadhaar Seva Kendra ja kar Gazette notification aur purane docs dikha kar update request deni hoti hai.

PAN Card Update: PAN Card database me correction ke liye Protean (NSDL) portal par change request fill karni hoti hai. Government fee lagbhag Rs. 110 lagti hai, aur Gazette document support zaroori hota hai.

Passport Update: Passport me naam badalne ke liye aapko fresh reissue application deni hogi. Shadi ke baad surname change ke liye marriage certificate valid hai, par spelling ya poora naam badalne ke liye Gazette certificate submit karna mandatory hai.

• Aadhaar name update limit: maximum two times by UIDAI
• PAN correction via Protean online portal
• Passport reissue requires gazette for full name changes

GSEB Marksheet ya Board Certificate me correction kaise hoti hai?

Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB) ya kisi bhi state board ki 10th aur 12th marksheet me correction sabse mushkil kaam hota hai. Board ke strict rules hote hain:

Agar marksheet me name spelling galat hai, to aamtaur par school records ko badalna zaroori hota hai. Iske liye school principal ki verification ke saath district education officer (DEO) aur board office me application di jaati hai.

Agar spelling ke alawa poora naam hi badalna hai, to board Gazette copy, birth certificate aur court se verification affidavit demand karta hai. Kai cases me 10th pass hone ke kuch saalon ke baad boards applications accept nahi karte, isliye yeh process jald se jald karna zaroori hai.

Common mistakes aur rejection ke kya reasons hote hain?

Department of Publication me aane wali lagbhag 30% applications choti mistakes ke karan reject ho jaati hain. In mistakes se bachein:

Witness Signatures Missing: Deed change form par do witnesses ke signatures aur contact details hona mandatory hai. Log ise aksar khali chhod dete hain.

Mismatched Names in CD and Affidavit: Jo spelling aapne digital CD ke docx file me dali hai, wahi exact spelling hard copy affidavit aur deed form me honi chahiye. Ek letter ki bhi mistake rejection ka reason banti hai.

Old Newspaper Copies: Gazette application file karte waqt newspaper ad purana nahi hona chahiye (preferable within 30-45 days of publishing).

Payment Issues: Bharatkosh portal par payment select karte waqt wrong ministry ya wrong purpose code select karne se fee reject ho jaati hai.
