Aadhar and sale deed name mismatch

There should not be any problem for changing your name subsequent to the purchase of the property.

Hi Ajay, 

A name mismatch between your Aadhar card and sale deed can create legal and procedural hurdles when selling your property. While minor variations (such as initials in different orders) may not always be a problem, it is advisable to ensure uniformity across all official documents to avoid potential disputes or verification issues.

Since the sale deed was registered in the name of “Ajay B S” as per your PAN, and your Aadhar reflects “B S Ajay,” this inconsistency might lead to complications during property transactions, especially for buyer verification, loan approvals, or mutation in revenue records.

Your decision to update both Aadhar and PAN by expanding initials and ensuring consistency is a prudent step. However, once updated, you may also need to execute an affidavit or gazette notification declaring that both names refer to the same individual. This will serve as a legal proof to support your identity in case of any objections during the sale process.

To ensure a smooth transaction, consider consulting a legal expert to update relevant property records accordingly.
