Will name mismatch in certificates cause problems in future?

Sir my name is Renjith, my father's name is Bhaskaran.,but in my 10th mark list it has wrongly mentioned as Renjith .R actually it needed to be Renjith.B, through out my education certificates it is mentioned as Renjith.R. I completed 10th in the year of 2006, so I didn't get proper guidence from any one at that time. Now is there any problem while using it? Adhar card, Voter ID proof there is no initial. Is there any problem?

If all your certificates say “Renjith R,” and your Aadhar and Voter ID match, you can continue using that name. It usually won’t cause a problem. However, if you want to change it to “Renjith B,” you will need to make an affidavit, publish it in the newspaper and then in the gazette, and apply to the educational board and other government bodies for correction in documents.
