Hello student,

Yes, having your mother's surname listed differently on documents could create complications during the counseling process, as there might be a need to verify family relationships based on document consistency. It's advisable to either align the documents or be prepared with additional proof of relationship, like an affidavit.

Here are a couple of options:

1. Name Correction on Documents : If feasible, you can update the name on her PAN or Aadhar card to match the surname listed on your mark sheet, or vice versa, depending on which is simpler.
   
   

2. Affidavit : Another option is to create an affidavit stating that both names (Devi and Kumari) refer to the same individual. This affidavit can act as legal proof and might be accepted during counseling, but it's essential to verify if the counseling authorities accept it.

To avoid future issues, it's best to align her name across documents if possible.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Yes, a discrepancy in your mother's surname between your board result and her documents can potentially create issues during the counseling process.

To address this issue, you can consider the following:

1. Affidavit:

• Prepare an affidavit explaining the discrepancy.
• This affidavit should clearly state the reason for the difference in surnames.
• It should also mention the correct surname and any supporting documents, such as a family register or other official documents.
• Get the affidavit notarized by a legal authority.

2. Name Change Procedure:

• If you decide to officially change your mother's surname, you'll need to follow the legal procedures for name change. This may involve publishing a notification in a local newspaper and obtaining a court order.
• Once the name change is legally recognized, you can update her documents accordingly.

During counseling, be prepared to submit the following documents:

• Affidavit: This will clarify the discrepancy and provide evidence of the correct surname.
• Supporting Documents: Any supporting documents, such as a family register or other official documents, can further strengthen your case.
• Original Documents: Carry original copies of all relevant documents for verification.

By addressing the discrepancy proactively and providing clear documentation, you can minimize any potential issues during the counseling process. It's advisable to consult with the counseling authority or a legal advisor for specific guidance on how to proceed.

Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out about this important document-related concern. I understand you're worried about the surname discrepancy between your mother's name on your marksheet (Devi) and her official documents like PAN and Aadhar (Kumari).This is actually a common situation that many students face during the counselling process. Here's what you should know:

During document verification:

1. You'll need to provide a legal affidavit stating that both names belong to the same person

2. The affidavit should be notarized on a stamp paper

3. Include both names and clearly state they refer to the same person

4. Get it signed by your mother

Additional steps to consider:

- Keep copies of all documents showing both names

- If possible, bring old documents that show both names being used

- Consider having a gazette notification done for the name standardization

For a long-term solution:

Your mother could indeed go through the official name change process to standardize her surname across all documents. This would involve:

1. Publishing the name change in a local newspaper

2. Getting it notarized

3. Publishing in the Official Gazette

4. Updating all official documents with the new name

However, for immediate counselling purposes, an affidavit should suffice. Make sure to inform the counselling authorities about this situation beforehand and carry all relevant documents during verification.
