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 apne rajya ke stamp duty ke hisaab se 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: Department of Publication ke guidelines ke mutabik naam change ka notice sirf ek daily local leading newspaper me publish karna hota hai - do newspapers zaroori nahi hain. Notice me aapke father/husband ka naam aur aapka poora residential address hona chahiye. Newspaper ka poora original page sambhal kar rakhein; sirf cutting kaafi nahi hoti. Weekly papers, supplements aur magazines accept nahi hote.

Step 3: Gazette Notification Application: Akhiri step me aapko sabhi documents (affidavit, newspaper ka poora original page, digital CD jisme MS Word file ho, passport photos aur request letter) ko compile karke Controller of Publications, Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054 ko bhejna hoga. Guidelines ke mutabik application sirf personally submit karne par ya post/courier se bhejne par hi li jaati hai - agents ya advocates ke through bhejne ki permission nahi hai. Documents ek saal se purane nahi hone chahiye.

• Affidavit draft aur notarisation
• Ek daily local leading newspaper me notice (poora original page)
• Gazette application aur official fee payment (Bharatkosh/NTRP)

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: Department of Publication ki official printing charge yeh hai - change of name (adult/major) Rs. 1,100, change of name (minor) Rs. 1,700, public notice (jaise naam ya sex correction) Rs. 1,400, aur change of religion Rs. 1,700. Videsh me rehne wale Indian citizen ke liye adult Rs. 3,500 aur minor Rs. 5,100. Central government employees ke liye alag rate nahi hai - unhe MHA O.M. 190016/1/87-Estt. dated 12/03/1987 ke tehat ek deed dena hota hai. Yeh fee Bharatkosh (NTRP) portal par online pay ki jaati hai.

Stamp Paper and Notary Cost: Apne rajya ke stamp duty ke hisaab se (Gujarat me aamtaur par Rs. 50 ya Rs. 100) plus notary fees.

Newspaper Notice Cost: Sirf ek daily local leading newspaper me notice publish karna hota hai, isliye kharcha newspaper aur column width par depend karta hai - aamtaur par Rs. 300 se Rs. 1,500 tak.

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

• Notary and Stamp: Apne rajya ke stamp duty ke hisaab se

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 aayi kai applications choti mistakes ke karan reject ho jaati hain. Department ko incomplete, vague, unlawful ya misleading material reject karne ka adhikaar hai. 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 MS Word file me dali hai, wahi exact spelling hard copy affidavit aur proforma me honi chahiye. Ek letter ki bhi mistake rejection ka reason banti hai.

Newspaper Requirement: Sirf ek daily local leading newspaper ka poora original page chahiye. Cutting, weekly paper, supplement ya magazine accept nahi hota.

Purane Documents: Guidelines ke mutabik documents ek saal se purane nahi hone chahiye.

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