Respected sir,
I want to ask that in my 10th marksheet my mother's name is written as BANDANA SINHA whereas her original name is BANDNA SINHA . There is only a letter mistake and in all my other documents it is written correctly. Will there be any objection while applying for UPSC ???
And if yes what is the solution?

Such small discrepancies are of no consequences. Substantial aspects of scrutiny would be your date of birth, qualification and antecedents.. Other information, if at all, sought are only incidental.

It is not a major mistake. For the safe side, you have to obtain a Notarised Affidavit regarding the correct name. The Notary will prepare the affidavit. You have to pay fees.

agreed with views of earlier experts, therefore no further comments, so far

Since you are so much worried about this petty error in the name of your mother, you may better follow the procedures for name change.
You can prepare a n affidavit duly notarised and get the same published in the local newspaper, attach the copies of these documents, if necessary, along with your application for UPSC examinations.
