You can legally change your name in India by publishing a public notice in a local newspaper and filing an affidavit with the appropriate court. You’ll need to provide supporting documents like a birth certificate and proof of residence.

The seller insists it’s just T Block. The sub-registrar also noticed this discrepancy during our appointment, but accepted the seller’s explanation and said they would check further. What can I do if the sub-registrar rejects the registry documents after they’ve taken photos and issued a receipt?

Previous Article My wife left our home in 1997 and filed for divorce in 2001. We have a son together and she wouldn’t let me see him, so I fought the divorce. She eventually withdrew the case in 2003, and I haven’t spoken to her or my son since. If I file for divorce now, and she opposes, will it be straightforward and how long will the process take? We’re both government employees with similar salaries, and we’re Hindu. Any advice would be appreciated.
