Feeling cheated by name change agent

After affidavit the end process is the simple Name Change Gazette Procedure remaining. Once your gazette notification is published, your name change will be legally complete.

The name change gazette notification is mandatory for those in employment with the government and optional for others. However, it is substantial proof of your name change. Since it just involves sending a few documents for publication, it may make sense to go through with it.

Here is what you need to do to submit the Gazette notification:

Carry a copy of the ‘Deed changing name form’ available with the Controller of Publication, Department of Publication;
Alternatively, a letter of declaration from you, stating the need for changing the name will do;
Carry original copies of advertisements published with the date. (Attach both ads);
Carry two attested photographs to ensure you go ahead with the procedure uninterrupted;
Carry address and identity proofs (The address should be the same as the one published in the newspaper and affidavit. Any change of address might result in rejection of application).
However, before sending in the following details, call the Controller’s office of Publication to get a detailed account of what all need to be sent, and note it down. Also, put the above documents in an A4 sized envelope before sending it to the below-mentioned address.

The office of the Controller of Publication will send information, with the necessary copies of the Gazette on which the Advertisement/Notification has appeared. Keep this safe for future reference.

However, if you wish to report the agent for his cheat, you can lodge a complaint against him under section 420 of Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860 for CHEATING.

Hope it Helps
