U can't apply citing old Aadhar Card and Voter id once it is modified. Better U can complete the procedure for change of name with the Board & University attaching the Gazette notification regarding change of name.

You can upload the documents as available and the discrepancy could be explained through the Gazette Notification. There could be change in caste consequent to marriage.

Thank you so much for the valuable response sir!
I will apply with the name(old) in ssc as specified in application and adhaar detail(new nname).At examination centre,I will show them the gazette notification.

I'M JUST WORRIED THAT,IF MY NAME DOESN'T MATCH AS PER SSC MEMO WITH ADHAAR CARD, THEY MIGHT CANCEL MY APPLICATION WITHOUT ISSUING HALLTICKET.IS IT POSSIBLE?
Just give me an insights specifically about the caste,Can i apply using my husband's caste or it is just used for my future kids only but not for me?
JAN 20,2019: Caste decided by birth, can't be changed by marriage: SC
I got a gazette notification last year and It not only consists of my name correction but it have others who got their name corrected on that date.Is it sufficient or is there any think like a specific gazette certificate I get?

Best Regards,
Priyanka.

Caste is never changed. And a person marries other than his/her caste then also caste will not be changed which comes from birth. For a name change, get your marriage registered under Hindu Marriage Act or solemnized under the Special Marriage Act. In the marriage application, you have to change your name, with your husband's surname. Then give a Notarised Affidavit to that effect.

When you change your name by a due process of gazette notification, then onwards you cannot use the old original name.

If you legally change your name and use the original name it is a misrepresentation of fact.

Even though your old name appears in your certificate it should be read as your new name from the date of its change and you should keep a copy of gazette along with the certificate to prove the change.

Practically you can use new name alias old name (Sarita@/alias Ramita) in UPSC form, if it accepts such a form which will definitely convey about such a mismatch in name. Alias means known as.

Otherwise, use the new name and explain it wherever possible including keeping an affidavit for the purpose.

To my knowledge, there is no law as to how a person ought to be named or a procedure mandated or regulated or recognised law as to how a person ought to be named. Equally, there could be more than one spelling when a vernacular proper name is written in English. Now, with the computers taking up routine clerical work, such a mismatches could create insurmountable problems. The prudent course is to stick to the name and the spelling) that is entered in the matriculation or secondary certificate.

Surprising. How can one apply for caste certificate based on husband's cast. It is always as per cast of father.
