How to change bank account name

To change the name on your bank account in India, you must visit your home branch and submit a formal application along with supporting legal documents. The required documentation depends on the reason for the change:
  • Marriage: Submit a certified copy of your marriage certificate.
  • Other Reasons: Provide a copy of the official Gazette notification regarding the name change.
  • KYC Update: Bring updated identity proofs, such as an Aadhaar card or PAN card, reflecting your new name.
The bank will verify these documents and update your records, typically within a few working days.
