Will name mismatch in land records affect property transfer process?

My name is recorded consistently as per my official documents such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, and Voter ID. However, in some of the land records, my name appears differently. I want to transfer my property to my son. Will these discrepancies in the name create any difficulties during the property transfer process? If so, please explain the process in detail, including how to resolve the name differences.

To transfer your property smoothly, first make an affidavit stating all name variations belong to you. Publish this in newspapers, and optionally in the state gazette. Use this along with your ID proofs while registering the property transfer (like a gift deed) to your son. This resolves any name mismatch legally and avoids future issues.
