Hello Ajit,

If your father's name has a spelling mistake on the Non-Creamy Layer (NCL) certificate, it could potentially cause issues during document verification, especially if the authorities strictly match the details across different documents. Inconsistent names can raise questions about the authenticity or correctness of the documents, so it is better to get it corrected.

1. Affidavit for Name Correction
   If there is a mistake in your father's name, creating an affidavit declaring the correct spelling of the name might help explain the discrepancy during verification. An affidavit is a legal document that can support your claim about the correct spelling and clarify the mistake.

2. Steps for Affidavit Creation

   • Draft the Affidavit: You or a lawyer can draft an affidavit explaining the error and mentioning the correct name.

   • Get It Notarized: The affidavit should be signed by you in front of a notary public. The notary will attest to the affidavit, making it an official document.

DOCUMENTS REQUIRED :

• Proof of your father's correct name: You will need supporting documents that clearly state your father's correct name, such as:

  • Aadhaar card

  • PAN card

  • Passport

  • Voter ID card

  • Birth certificate

  • Other official documents

• A copy of the document containing the incorrect name (like the NCL certificate).

3. Correction of NCL Certificate
You should also consider getting the NCL certificate itself corrected. To do this, visit the issuing authority (such as the Tahsildar or the office that issued the certificate) and apply for a correction. They might ask for:

• The affidavit you created.

• Correct documents proving your father’s correct name.

Hope it helps !
