How to correct name in bank account

To correct the name in your bank account, you must visit your bank branch and submit a formal request. Most Indian banks require an in-person visit for identity verification. Follow these steps:
  • Fill out the bank's name change or account modification form.
  • Submit a self-attested copy of a valid government-issued photo ID (like Aadhaar, PAN card, or Passport) with the corrected name.
  • Provide legal supporting documents such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or a gazette notification for a name change.
  • Carry original documents for on-the-spot verification by bank officials.
