So I’ve recently joined a Job in a hospital. My name is JOHN DOE. The issue is that all my Identification documents like adhaar, pan card and passport has Surname first followed by the last name (DOE JOHN). So the bank account was opened by the name DOE JOHN.

The degree and other marksheets has the name JOHN DOE on it. So the appointment letter was made by the name JOHN DOE.

I recently got a call from the accounts department stating that I need to change the name on all my documents in order to get my salary, as they cannot credit salary of JOHN DOE to DOE JOHN.

I need advice regarding what can be done?
1) Change names on all my legal documents.
2) Get an affidavit made stating that JOHN DOE and DOE JOHN are the same person.
3) Other options?

The easiest option is to notify HR to update your name in the employment records as Doe JOHN.

If you want your name to legally appear as JOHN DOE – please update all your Government notified identification documents corrected – aadhar, EIC, passport, etc

I have the same case but i have experienced this when the PF account name didn’t match the aadhar card name. Otherwise not during the salary credit scenario.

Do I really need to get the documents sorted?
