Can we change name in bank account

Yes, you can change the name in your bank account, provided you have valid legal justification and supporting documents. To initiate the process, you must visit your bank branch and submit a formal application along with the necessary proof. Common documents required include:

• A marriage certificate for name changes post-marriage.
• A copy of the Government Gazette notification for legal name changes.
• Updated KYC documents like Aadhaar card or PAN card reflecting the new name.
• An affidavit sworn before a magistrate or notary.

Once the bank verifies these documents, they will update your records, and you can request a new chequebook and passbook.
