IBPS Bank Exam Application Name Mismatch in Uttarakhand

From a call letter of this recruitment, and from a participating bank's published notice on verification before joining for a clerks' round.

Read the fourth and fifth rows together. The bank separates a changed name from a misspelt one, and names a different paper for each. Most confusion comes from mixing the two.

An affidavit does not turn one name into another. It only says that two spellings are one person. A candidate who has in fact changed a name, and brings only an affidavit to the bank, is not within its notice.

Step 1: Lay out class 10, the degree and its marksheets

Write the name, the father's name and the date of birth from each.

Step 2: Put beside them the photo identity you will carry

PAN, a passport, a driving licence, a voter card or another the notice allows.

Step 3: Bring the identity paper to the certificates' name

At its own office, before you register.

Step 4: If your name has in fact changed, get the proof now

A marriage certificate, or a Gazette notification. The notices ask for the original.

Step 5: Get category certificates in the format the notice names

With your name as on the certificates, and the caste name exactly as the central list has it.

Step 6: Type the name yourself, as on the identity paper and certificates

And the father's or husband's name with the same care.

Step 7: Read the printout of the submitted application

Keep it. The bank asks for it at verification.

Step 8: Carry the same identity paper to every stage

And the original of any paper that explains a difference.

From the participating bank's notice. Other banks publish their own, on the same lines.

1. The application. The printout of the online application, with the fee receipt.
2. Date of birth. A birth certificate, or the class 10 certificate showing it.
3. Education. Year-wise or semester-wise marksheets and certificates, with the degree.
4. Category. A certificate from the competent authority in the format the notification gives.
5. Identity. A photo identity proof from the notice's list.
6. A changed name. The original Gazette notification or the original marriage certificate.
7. A spelling difference. A notarised affidavit in original.

An appointment is offered subject to this verification. A candidate who has cleared three stages can still be turned away at this desk for want of one original. Read name mismatch at document verification.

• The call letter warns women candidates who have changed a first, middle or last name after marriage to take special note of the matching rule.
• A woman whose certificates carry her earlier name and whose identity paper carries her married name is covered by her marriage certificate.
• The bank's notice asks for it in original.
• She should decide which name to apply in, and carry an identity paper in exactly that name to the hall.
• A candidate who marries between the application and the examination should not update the identity paper she named until the process is over.
• A marriage that was never registered can still be registered. Do it before the notification, not after the result.

Step 1: Confirm that your name has in fact changed

A spelling difference is supported by an affidavit, and a married name by the marriage certificate.

Step 2: Start early

A Gazette commonly takes 3 to 7 weeks. The original is asked for at verification.

Step 3: Fix the exact new name, and copy the old name from the class 10 certificate

Letter by letter.

Step 4: Make the affidavit and publish the newspaper notice

Sign before a notary. Publish in a daily local leading newspaper, and keep the original newspaper.

Step 5: Type the form and sign the undertaking

Two typed copies of the specimen, signed in your old name with two witnesses, and the undertaking.

Step 6: Prepare the CD, photographs and certificate

The same text on a CD in MS Word, two self-attested photographs with identity proof, and a certificate that both copies match.

Step 7: Pay the charge on BharatKosh

Commonly Rs 1,100 for an adult. It is not refunded.

Step 8: Send the file yourself, then update the identity paper you will carry

Send it to the Controller of Publications, Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054. Keep the original Gazette for the examination hall and the bank.

A typical case we handle: a graduate from Haldwani had been known as "Pappu Singh" through school, and his class 10 certificate and degree read so. At twenty he began using "Prateek Singh Rawat", and his Aadhaar and PAN were made in that name on an affidavit. He cleared a clerk's examination and was allotted to a bank, which asked for the original Gazette notification. An affidavit was not enough, since his name had in fact been changed. We prepared his Gazette file, and he joined after the notification was published. This is an illustrative example of the type of case we handle, not a named client review.

When you do not need us

For a spelling difference, which the bank's notice covers by an affidavit, and for a married name, which the marriage certificate covers. We are useful where your name has in fact been changed for another reason, and the original Gazette notification is asked for.
