I want your guidance on one of my friend's sirname. Actually her documental name(i.e. in qualification certificates) is 'Sakshi Rani" but she is doing job by the name of "Sakshi Rana". Actually she is rajpoot.She got her and her father's sirname mistyped on her high school certificate.It was written "Rani" instead of "Rana". She applied for the correction in the same. Later on she got a new corrected certificate from the board. But in this new certificate her father's name was absolutely correct but her name was again metioned "Sakshi Rani" instead of "Sakshi Rana". Now she is doing job by the name of Sakshi Rana.She is also having PAN in the name of SAKSHI RANA. Now my question is if she should continue working with the name Sakshi Rana or she should start doing job with her documental name i.e. Sakshi Rani which she doesnt want to..

She is not in income tax limit as yet thats why she never filled an income tax return, but now she will have to...

Kindly guide her about the same. Can she work with the sirname "Rana" or not? If not, then is there any solution of this problem like any affidavit or something bcoz she wants to continue with her original sirname " Rana"?

Pls guide her.

Thanks

Pooja

Name changing is not a problem.Consult a lawyer,they will guide with the procedure to be followed like filing an affidavit,appearing in a court,publishing in newspaper etc.If you have to change the certificate it self you have go the point at which the mistake has taken place prove through their recrds that a typing error has taken place and get it rectified.
