Name Difference / Name Mismatch
Resolve spelling and name differences across share certificates, PAN, Aadhaar and bank records.
A name spelled differently, initials instead of a full name, a surname change after marriage: small differences like these are the most common reason share requests get rejected. Registrars need clear proof that all the versions of the name belong to the same person. We work out exactly what proof your case needs and prepare it properly.
This service is for you if…
- Your certificate says 'R. K. Shah' but your PAN says 'Rajesh Kumar Shah'
- Your surname changed after marriage
- Your signature today is different from the one the company has on record
- Your demat or IEPF request was rejected because of a name mismatch
Where cases usually get stuck
- Spelling differences, initials, or missing middle names
- Name changes after marriage or by choice
- Signature mismatch with company records
- Differences between the deceased's records during transmission
Your document checklist
- Share certificate(s) and PAN, Aadhaar and passport (whichever show the name)
- Affidavit declaring that the different names belong to the same person
- Marriage certificate, if the name changed after marriage
- Gazette notification, where the RTA requires it
- Banker's attestation of signature, for signature mismatch
This is a general list and may vary by case, company and RTA. We'll give you an exact checklist after reviewing your documents.

Questions about Name Mismatch
No. Many cases are resolved with an affidavit and supporting ID proofs. A gazette notification is usually needed when the name has formally changed, or when the RTA specifically asks for it.
