This query is : Resolved
In my
Birth Certificate (Howrah Municipality)my name is recorded as 'Arisha Karmakar alias Ankika Karmakar' instead of 'Ankika Karmakar' which is recorded in all other documents(i.e Voter Card,Pan Card,Ration Card,
School Certificates etc.).Passport Seva Kendra advised me to correct the Birth Certificate from issuing Municipality during verification .But Authority of Municipality rejected to do so. What should I do now? Please Suggest.

That should not create any problem, especially when (I) the birth certificate clearly mentions your real name and (ii) all your certificates and other documents mentions your name as Ankika Karmakar.
In case the Pass port authority at the PS Kendra does not agree, you may have to approach higher authorities in the Pass port office. You will get your passport.

You can sworn affidavit as per annexure E of the passport application as applicable for name change.
It would be advisable to approach higher officials (Passport officer} and prey him to allow the same.

Dont keep asking the same question like a parrot. Dont expect someone to hold your hands and guide through. Make some efforts yourself, by visiting the passport office, enquire from the receptionist and go ahead.
