adopted sons can change their surname in their previous certificate in the process of gazzette
Parveen Kr. Aggarwal (Expert) 28 February 2010
Section 12 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 reads as under:

"12. Effects of adoption:- An adopted child shall be deemed to be the child of his or her adoptive father or mother FOR ALL PURPOSES with effect from the date of the adoption and from such date all the ties of the child in the family of his or her birth shall be deemed to be severed and replaced by those created by the adoption in the adoptive family."

Therefore, an adopted child gets the sirname of his adoptive father and he can get the same incorporated in his certificates through publication in the official gazette.
