Sir/ Madam,
If Surname of a female Person has been changed from “Garg” to “Sharma” After Merriage thru an affidavit and the news in this regard was published in news paper also.
The Documents before Marriage (her high school, 12th and Graduation Certificates)
Contain Surname as “Garg” while After Merriage B.Ed. Certificate and all other documents i.e. PAN Card, Bank A/c, Voter ID & Domicile contain new surname “Sharma”.
Now what surname should she /use fill while applying for any government Job?
As instructions are given that name should be filled as per High School Certificate.
Please tell the rules as per law in this regard.
