Can my father’s name discrepancy matter for government job?
When I was first admitted to school, my father’s name on my birth certificate was written as Hardeep Kumar. However, the school records started showing it as Pardeep Kumar. When I raised this issue with the Principal, he told me to change my father’s name on the birth certificate first. I applied to correct it from Pardeep to Hardeep with evidence, but instead, they changed it to “Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar.” Due to the shortage of time before my Class 10 exam, I had to accept that name. Since then, in my Class 10, Class 12, and graduation certificates, my father’s name is written as “Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar.” In my state, there is a Family ID system linked with Aadhaar, which shows the correct name of my father as Hardeep Kumar. This Family ID is used for document verification. Now, I am worried that if I get selected for a government post, this difference (Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar vs. Hardeep Kumar) may cause problems. What should I do?
Dear Client, Since all your educational certificates carry your father’s name as “Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar” while his official records and Family ID show “Hardeep Kumar,” this difference may raise queries at the verification stage of a government job, but it will not disqualify you if you take corrective steps; the practical solution is to prepare a notarized affidavit and, ideally, a Gazette notification clarifying that “Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar” and “Hardeep Kumar” refer to the same individual, so that when your documents are scrutinized, you can present this legal proof to establish identity continuity and avoid any hurdle in your appointment. I hope this answer helps. For any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank You.
Your documents mention your father’s name as “Pardeep alias Hardeep Kumar”, while Aadhaar shows “Hardeep Kumar”. This may cause issues later. You should prepare an affidavit, publish a notice in newspapers, and apply for Gazette notification. After this, your father’s name will be legally corrected and accepted across documents.
