How to change my name in bank account

To change your name in a bank account, you must first complete the legal name change process, which typically involves creating a notarized affidavit, publishing an advertisement in newspapers, and obtaining a Gazette notification. Once legalized, follow these steps:

• Visit your home bank branch with a written application.
• Submit self-attested copies of supporting documents like the marriage certificate, Gazette notification, and updated KYC (Aadhaar/PAN).
• The bank will verify the documents and update your records, usually notifying you via SMS or email.
