Name in aadhar card

I would like advice for my problem with name in Aadhar which has short name.. With the government announcing to link the Aadhar with PAN which has expanded name, linking has failed for me due to this. In south India, most of us go by first name with initials of first letter of father’s name. If I change the aadhar name to full name, linking for EPFO pension etc will be a problem as name in service record is short name. What is the work around? I am sure there must be many like me who are facing this. My name in school DOB and service records and Aadhar is G.L Narayanan and I am 58 years old, on the verge of retiring. My full name: Govindarajan(Surname/Father’s name) Lakshmi(Middle) Narayanan(first) in passport, PAN etc.

You have to make an Affidavot with a first class magestrate and submit to the aadhar authority they might consider your request after all any card is to be convenient to the user not an impediment that is the doctrine of rule of law so we have Art 14 in the indian constitution sir. tks

You have make changes in aadhar card. You can make some changes online. You need aadhar registered mobile and basic information to make changes in aadhar online.
