For Assume title or change of name procedure you may declare/sworn affidavit before the Judicial Magistrate court and after that publish in Gazette and or vernacular news paper of your state.

Yes, the procedure explained by Mr. Abdul Razique is correct and no more to write.

AFFIDAVIT & GOVT GAZETTE IS ENOUGH.

Affidavit, Govt. Gazette notification and addition you have to insert advt. in local news papers.

You have to approach the concerned District Collector. There will be seperate procedures and formats for change of name. The Office staff will guide you.
