Make an affidavit on a stamp paper of Rs. 10 declaring that from now on she will be known as the changed name, then make it duly notarized and then make it published(that your wife will be known as the said name) in two daily newspapers, one in your regional language if applicable otherwise one in hindi and other in english .
