A.Dear Madam,
There is no confusion as S indicates name of your father. In case of voter ID it is irrelevant because it will be used once in a five years. Use Aadhaar card in all the communications as your KYC.

A.Dear Client,
A person's identity is greatly affected when his or her name appears differently in different documents. You have to select a name that should identify your identity in all the statutory documents that are required for various purposes. Once you choose a name that you want to reflect in all your documents, you may opt for the following steps to make it documented in all your documents issued by the different authorities. 1) An affidavit is a legal document that is used to state facts under oath. The affidavit should include the applicant's current name/surname, the desired name/surname, the reason for the change of name/surname, and any other relevant details declaring that the "A s/d/o B " and the "A s/d//o C" are the same and one identical person. The affidavit should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be sworn preferably before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate or Executive Magistrate. 2) The next step in the name/surname change process is to publish a notification in the Gazette of India. The Gazette of India is a publication of the Government of India that contains official government notifications, including name/surname change notifications. The notification should be in the prescribed format and published in at least two local newspapers. 3) After publishing the notification in the Gazette of India and local newspapers, the next step is to make out a name/surname change deed. The said deed is a legal document that confirms the name/surname change and includes the details of the old and new name/surname. The deed should be made on a stamp paper of the appropriate value as per the state where the applicant resides and should be signed by two witnesses and notarized by a Notary Public. 5) The final step is to submit the name/surname change deed along with an application to that effect to the relevant authorities for information and updating the records. The applicant may also need to provide additional documents, such as a copy of the Gazette notification and a copy of the affidavit for updating the records wherever and whenever required. It is essential to follow the correct procedure to ensure that the name/surname change is accepted/recognized by the concerned Authority for updating the change in their records.
