Quick Summary

If your name appears differently on various official documents (e.g., Mohanlal on school certificates vs. Mohan on your Aadhaar card), you'll need to decide which one to use for the online census form. It's recommended to obtain a notarised affidavit stating that both names refer to the same individual. You can then use the chosen name consistently. It's also wise to consult the relevant authorities for their specific guidance on this matter.

You can make an affidavit stating one and the same name and then you get it published in the local newspaper after which you can use the decided name alone.

Contact concerned authority.
However, it is not a legal dispute/problem for consideration and obligation of experts on this platform.

You can obtain a notarised affidavit for the purpose, and it is sufficient.
