Signature Change After Name Change in Jharkhand: Bank, PAN, Shares and Demat

Once your new name is published, you will probably want to sign in it. But a signature is not a name, and no office changes it just because your name changed. Each record holds its own specimen signature, and each has its own way of replacing it. The one to change first is your bank, because other offices check your signature against the bank's record. For shares held through a registrar, SEBI's own Form ISR-2 is a "Confirmation of Signature of securities holder by the Banker", confirming the signature "as recorded with the Bank", sent with an "Original cancelled cheque". For PAN, Protean's instructions say "Individuals issued a PAN card with incorrect/unclear photograph/signature should tick the box on the left margin". And until your Gazette notice is out, the Department of Publication's own form is "signed by the individual in his/her old name". This page puts it all in order.

Quick answer

Five points, in the order you will need them. First, keep signing in the old name until the Gazette notice is out. The Department of Publication's change of name form is "signed by the individual in his/her old name", and until publication the old name is still your legal name. Second, treat the signature as a separate request from the name. Changing the name in a record does not change the specimen signature it holds, and mixing both into one letter slows both down. Third, change the bank first. Other offices check your signature against the bank. For physical shares and securities with a registrar, SEBI's forms ask for "Banker's attestation of the signature of the holder(s) as per Form ISR – 2" and an "Original cancelled cheque", and SEBI says the registrar "shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization or indemnity" for these updates. For a minor difference, the registrar "shall intimate the holder at the existing address, seeking objection, if any, within 15 days." Fourth, for PAN, tick the signature box. Protean's instructions say a person with a PAN card showing an "incorrect/unclear photograph/signature should tick the box on the left margin", and enclose the original PAN card. Fifth, you do not need a Gazette notice for a signature. Every Gazette category is about names and related matters, not signatures. We could not find a Reserve Bank rule prescribing how a bank records a new signature, so each bank uses its own form; ask at your branch.

The first thing to understand

A Signature Is Not a Name: Why Changing Your Name Does Not Change Your Signature

Signature change after name change in Jharkhand, bank, PAN and demat records — A new name on the record, and the old signature still on file beside it.

When a bank updates your name, it changes the name field. It does not throw away the specimen signature it already holds. The same is true of a share registrar, a depository participant and the PAN database. Each keeps its own copy of how you sign, and each compares your next signature with that copy.

So after a name change there are really two jobs: the name, which the Gazette notice or marriage certificate proves, and the signature, which only you can prove, usually in person or through your bank.

The difference between a name change and a signature change in your records
Point	Name change	Signature change
What proves it	Gazette notice, marriage certificate or similar	You, and usually your bank
Is a Gazette notice needed	Often, for a genuine change	No. No Gazette category covers signatures
Does one change the other	No	No
Must you do it	To use the new name, yes	We found no rule that forces it, but a signature that does not match the record causes rejections
One letter for both?	Better not. A mixed request is the slowest kind. See demat and mutual fund name change

Do not start signing in the new name before the notice is out. The Department of Publication's change of name form is "signed by the individual in his/her old name". Until publication, the old name is your legal name, and a new signature on a cheque or a form has nothing behind it. We see people with two signatures and no paper linking them. Wait for the notice, then change the signature in order.

The order decides how easy the rest is

Which Record to Change First After a Name Change: Why the Bank Comes First for Signature

For the name, the usual order is Aadhaar first, then PAN, then banks and the rest. For the signature, the bank matters most, because it is the record other offices lean on.

SEBI's Form ISR-2 shows this plainly. It is titled "Confirmation of Signature of securities holder by the Banker", and the bank confirms your signature "as recorded with the Bank." So if your bank still holds your old signature, the banker can only confirm the old one. Change the bank's specimen first, and the rest can follow it.

The order to update name and signature across records after a name change
Order	Record	What changes
1	Aadhaar	Name only. Aadhaar holds no signature
2	PAN	Name, and the signature if you tick the box
3	Bank	Name, and a new specimen signature. The anchor for everything after it
4	Shares with a registrar	Signature through Form ISR-2 from the bank, with a cancelled cheque
5	Demat and mutual funds	Through your depository participant's own form
6	Insurance, EPFO and the rest	Each through its own form

Order your cheque book after the bank has your new signature. Cheques signed in the new style against an old specimen can be returned. Ask the branch to confirm the new specimen is on the system before you issue a cheque, and keep signing cheques the old way until then. For the bank name update itself, see bank records.

The anchor record

How to Change Your Signature in a Bank Account After a Name Change

Here we have to be plain about what we could and could not find. We could not find a Reserve Bank rule that says how a bank must record a new signature. Each bank uses its own form, usually a request for change of signature with a fresh specimen signature card, signed at the branch in front of an officer. Ask your branch for its form rather than relying on one printed on a website.

What is settled is the name side. The Reserve Bank's KYC rule treats your old identity document as valid in the new name when it is supported by a State Government marriage certificate or a Gazette notification. See bank not accepting the Gazette. So do the name and the signature at the same visit, but on separate forms.

What to take to the bank to change your name and signature
What to take	Why
Your passbook or a statement	Shows the name and account the bank holds
Your Gazette notice or marriage certificate	Proof of the name change, for the name form
An officially valid identity document	For KYC. A PAN card is not on the Reserve Bank's list of such documents
Yourself, in person	A new specimen signature is usually signed in front of a bank officer
The bank's own change of signature form	Ask at the branch. We print no format, because each bank has its own

Ask for two things before you leave the branch. A written acknowledgement of both requests, and the date the new specimen will be on the system. You will need that date if you are going to ask the same bank for a Form ISR-2 for your shares, because the banker confirms your signature as recorded with the bank. For wider KYC questions, see bank and insurance KYC.

Physical shares and registrars

Signature Change for Shares With a Registrar: Form ISR-1 and Form ISR-2

If you hold shares or other securities through a company's registrar and share transfer agent, SEBI's own forms set the rules, and they are clearer than most. SEBI's Form ISR-1 asks, for a signature update, for "Banker's attestation of the signature of the holder(s) as per Form ISR – 2" and an "Original cancelled cheque".

Form ISR-2 is issued under SEBI's circular of 16 March 2023. It is a "Confirmation of Signature of securities holder by the Banker". The bank fills in the account details, attaches your photograph, confirms your signature "as recorded with the Bank", and adds its seal and the manager's name, employee code, email and date.

What SEBI's forms say about signature and name updates with a registrar
The point	In SEBI's words
For a signature update	"Banker's attestation of the signature of the holder(s) as per Form ISR – 2" and "Original cancelled cheque"
For a minor signature difference	The registrar "shall intimate the holder at the existing address, seeking objection, if any, within 15 days"
For a name difference	Furnish one document "explaining the difference in names", such as Aadhaar, a valid passport, a driving licence, a PAN card with photograph, a marriage certificate or a divorce decree
What the registrar cannot demand	"RTA shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization or indemnity" for updating PAN, KYC details and nomination
Who signs Form ISR-2	Your bank manager, with the bank's seal

Demat is a different route. Shares held in a demat account are updated through your depository participant, your broker or bank, on its own modification form, not through Form ISR-1 and ISR-2. We print no depository participant's procedure, because each has its own. Ask yours for its change of signature form, and see demat and mutual fund name change and share certificate name change.

The card most people forget

How to Change the Signature on Your PAN Card After a Name Change

A PAN card prints your signature, so an old signature on a new-name PAN card is a common sight. Protean, one of the two PAN service providers, covers it in its instructions for the change request form. "Individuals issued a PAN card with incorrect/unclear photograph/signature should tick the box on the left margin." The applicant must enclose "The original PAN card with wrong photograph / signature".

For the name itself, Protean lists the proof. For a married woman, "marriage certificate, marriage invitation card, publication of 'name-change' in gazette, copy of passport showing husband's name". For other individuals, "publication of 'name-change' in gazette". And it warns that "Applications not signed in the given manner and in the space provided are liable to be rejected."

Changing name and signature together on a PAN card
On the PAN change request	What to do
The name field	Tick it, and give the new name exactly as the proof shows
The signature box on the left margin	Tick it if you want the new signature printed
Your new signature	"Do provide the signature within the box", and "Do not sign across the box"
Proof of name change	Gazette publication, or the marriage documents Protean lists
The original PAN card	Enclose it, as Protean asks when the photograph or signature is wrong

Do both on one PAN request, not two. The PAN form lets you tick the name and the signature together, and one application costs less than two. This is the one record where combining them is sensible, because the form is built for it. For the PAN name change itself, see PAN name change, and if your PAN and Aadhaar no longer link, see PAN and Aadhaar name mismatch.

Do it in this order

How to Change Your Signature After a Name Change in Jharkhand, Step by Step

Keep signing in the old name until the notice is out

The Gazette form itself is "signed by the individual in his/her old name".

Settle your new signature and practise it

One signature, the same every time. Offices compare it stroke by stroke.

Update Aadhaar with the new name

Aadhaar holds no signature, so this is the name only.

Update PAN, ticking both name and signature

Enclose the original card, and sign within the box.

Go to your bank in person

Name form and change of signature form separately, with the Gazette notice or marriage certificate.

Get the date the new specimen is on the system

Do not issue cheques in the new signature before that date.

Ask the bank for Form ISR-2 if you hold shares with a registrar

The banker confirms the signature "as recorded with the Bank".

Send Form ISR-1, ISR-2 and a cancelled cheque to the registrar

No affidavit or notarisation can be insisted on.

Update demat and mutual funds through your participant

On its own form, not Form ISR-1.

Update insurance, EPFO and the rest

Each through its own form. Keep copies of every acknowledgement.

The one rule that holds the whole job together. Bank first, then everything that leans on the bank. A registrar, and often an insurer or an employer, will check your new signature against what your bank holds. If the bank still has the old one, every later request stalls.

The full process

Central Gazette Process for a Name From Jharkhand, and Where a Signature Change Fits

Read this before the rest of this section, because a signature change on its own needs no Gazette notice at all. The Gazette categories are about names and related matters, not signatures. This process matters only if your name has not yet been changed on paper, and you need a notice to prove the new name before you change the signature to match it. The form is "signed by the individual in his/her old name", so the new signature starts only after publication. It is printed in full so you can see where the signature fits, and so you recognise at once when somebody tries to sell you a notice for a signature.

No district in Jharkhand has a gazette counter, so a genuine file goes from Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh, Deoghar or anywhere else in the state to the Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054, and the notice publishes in Part IV of the Gazette of India. As reported in July 2025 the Finance Department stopped personal name change notifications from the Jharkhand Government Press with immediate effect, so there is no state alternative to fall back on.

The Eight Steps of a Name File Sent From Jharkhand

Settle the final name first

Letter by letter, with the spacing you want, and then use exactly that everywhere, Aadhaar included. A corrigendum after publication is a second fee and a second wait.

Pick the category, then its proforma

A genuine change of name is change of Name Adult or Major. A wrongly typed spelling is the public notice for a wrongly written name. Twelve categories exist and only one is yours.

Type the proforma in duplicate

Two originals with two witnesses giving signature, full name, address and mobile number on both copies. A change of name is signed in the old name; a public notice is signed in your own name.

Fill the employment field if it is a change of name

The adult proforma asks for the post of the applicant and the office or company name. A student or a homemaker should still complete it rather than leaving it blank, because a blank field brings the file back.

Publish and keep the original paper

One of the daily local leading newspapers, carrying both names in full, the father or husband name and the residential address. The whole original paper goes in the file, not a cutting.

Pay only through BharatKosh

The Non Tax Receipt Portal and nowhere else since October 2018. Select the Department of Publication by name, read the amount the portal shows on the day, pay in your own name and print the e-receipt.

Check every date, then post it yourself

Nothing in the file older than one year. Personally or by post or courier only, never through an agent or advocate. Photocopy everything first, because nothing sent in comes back.

Read the notice, then update in the right order

Check every word the day it publishes, download the e-Gazette copy, and then update the Aadhaar first, because the system leverages it for unique identification, and let the PAN, the bank account and any investment records follow after it in that order. Change your signature at the bank first, because other offices check against it.

The Five Papers in the File, and What Is Checked in Each

The five papers of a Central Gazette name file from Jharkhand and what the Department checks in each
The paper	What is checked in it, clause by clause
1. The proforma, in duplicate	That it is the right category format; the existing full name exactly as your documents carry it; the new full name exactly as settled; the father or husband name; the full address with pin code; the post and office or company name where it is a change of name; the signature in the right name for the category; two witnesses complete with signature, full name, address and mobile number
2. The affidavit or undertaking	The same names and address as the proforma, word for word, with wording matching the category. On Rs 100 non-judicial stamp paper as our safe default
3. The original newspaper	The original paper, not a cutting; the paper name and date of publication visible; both names carried; the father or husband name and residential address; dated within the last year
4. Photographs, identity proof and any category paper	Two self attested passport photographs; self attested identity and address proof matching the proforma address; both witnesses proofs; and, in a public notice file, the attested photocopy of the connected document carrying the error
5. The CD, its certificate and the BharatKosh receipt	MS Word, without the witness portion, with the name typed in place of the signature; the certificate that the hard copy and the soft copy are the same; the forwarding letter to the Controller of Publication with a telephone number and email; the e-receipt

The proforma is where files are lost, and there are twelve to choose from. A wrongly typed spelling filed on the change of name form declares henceforth be known as, claiming a change you never made. The Government charge already paid is not refunded, because BharatKosh payments are non-refundable. You then have six months to make good a shortcoming the Department points out, after which a fresh application with all new documents is required.

What to select on BharatKosh, field by field. Pay to the Department of Publication under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, and pick the Ministry, the Pay and Accounts Office and the Drawing and Disbursing Officer by their names in the dropdown, never by a code copied off a website. The codes printed for this office on different websites do not agree with each other, and money paid into the wrong head cannot be traced to your file. Read the amount on the portal on the day you pay, because it is revised each financial year.

What a Gazette notice will not do for your signature. It will not change the specimen signature held by your bank, your registrar, your depository participant or the PAN database. Each needs its own request. Since we publish these notices, the honest version is this: if your name is already changed and only your signature is different, you need no notice from us at all; you need your bank's form. Our name correction against name change page explains the name categories.

The posting detail is on the sending the file to Delhi page, the change of name wording on the proforma format page and the public notice wording on the public notice proforma page, the charge by category on the fee and undertaking page, the reasons files come back on the rejection reasons page, and the download on the download page.

Money, plainly

What a Signature Change After Name Change Costs

A signature change should cost very little. Most of what we can tell you is what is not charged, and where an office sets its own charge, we say so rather than guess.

Costs of changing your signature after a name change
Item	What we can and cannot tell you
A Gazette notice for a signature	Not needed. No Gazette category covers a signature
Bank change of signature	Set by each bank. We print no figure; ask at the branch
Form ISR-2 from your bank	SEBI's form states no charge. Ask whether your bank charges
Affidavit or notarisation for a registrar	Should not be needed. SEBI says the registrar "shall not insist" on them for these updates
PAN change request	Charged by Protean or UTIITSL. See PAN name change. One request can carry the name and the signature
A Gazette notice for the name, if you do not have one	Paid only through BharatKosh, revised each financial year, never refunded
What we charge	Quoted on the call. If you need only your bank's form, we will say so and charge nothing

The mistake that costs the most. Paying for an affidavit and notarisation because a registrar or an agent asked for one. SEBI's own form says the registrar "shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization or indemnity" for updating PAN, KYC details and nomination. For a signature, the paper that counts is the banker's Form ISR-2.

Myths we correct most often

Myths About Changing Your Signature After a Name Change

Common beliefs about signature changes after a name change and what is actually so
What people believe	What is actually so
Updating the name updates the signature	No. Each record keeps its own specimen signature
I need a Gazette notice to change my signature	No Gazette category covers signatures
I should sign the Gazette form in my new name	"signed by the individual in his/her old name"
I can start using the new signature right away	Not before the notice publishes, and not before each record has it
The order does not matter	Bank first, because Form ISR-2 confirms the signature "as recorded with the Bank"
A registrar can demand a notarised affidavit	"RTA shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization"
Form ISR-2 is enough on its own	Form ISR-1 also asks for an "Original cancelled cheque"
Demat uses Form ISR-2 too	Demat goes through your depository participant's own form
The PAN signature cannot be changed	Tick the box on the left margin, as Protean's instructions say
I must file two PAN requests, one for name and one for signature	One request can carry both
Aadhaar needs my new signature	Aadhaar holds no signature

The habit that protects you from all eleven. Ask which published sentence requires the thing being demanded. Apply it to any branch, any registrar, and to this page. SEBI's forms, Protean's instructions and the Department of Publication's guidelines are quoted in their own words, and where we found no rule, as for banks, the page says so.

FAQ

Signature Change After Name Change: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to change my signature after a name change?+

We found no rule that forces you to. But each record compares your signature with the one it holds, so a signature that does not match the record causes rejections. If you want to sign in the new name, change the specimen in each record, bank first.

Does changing my name in the bank change my signature too?+

No. The bank updates the name field and keeps the old specimen signature. Ask for the bank's change of signature form separately, and sign it at the branch.

Do I need a Gazette notice to change my signature?+

No. The Gazette categories are about names and related matters, not signatures. You need a Gazette notice only if the name itself has not yet been changed on paper.

Should I sign the Gazette form in my old name or new name?+

The old name. The Department of Publication says the change of name proforma is "signed by the individual in his/her old name".

Which record should I change the signature in first?+

Your bank. SEBI's Form ISR-2 is a "Confirmation of Signature of securities holder by the Banker", confirming the signature "as recorded with the Bank". Other offices lean on the bank's record.

How do I change my signature for physical shares?+

Send the registrar Form ISR-1 with "Banker's attestation of the signature of the holder(s) as per Form ISR – 2" and an "Original cancelled cheque", as SEBI's form asks.

Can the registrar ask me for a notarised affidavit?+

SEBI's form says "RTA shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization or indemnity" for registering, updating or changing PAN, KYC details and nomination.

What if my signature is only slightly different?+

SEBI's form says that for a minor difference, the registrar "shall intimate the holder at the existing address, seeking objection, if any, within 15 days." For a major mismatch, the banker's Form ISR-2 and a cancelled cheque are needed.

How do I change my signature in my demat account?+

Through your depository participant, your broker or bank, on its own modification form. Form ISR-1 and ISR-2 are for securities held with a registrar, not demat. See our demat and mutual fund page.

Can I change the signature on my PAN card?+

Yes. Protean's instructions say a person with a PAN card showing an "incorrect/unclear photograph/signature should tick the box on the left margin", and enclose the original PAN card. You can tick the name and the signature on one request.

Does Aadhaar need my new signature?+

No. Aadhaar holds no signature, so only the name is updated there.

How much of this can you do for us?+

The order and the paperwork check. We look at which records carry the new name and which still hold the old signature, and tell you the order and the form for each. Where the name itself is not yet changed, we prepare the Gazette file. We cannot sign anything for you or get a bank to change its specimen; that needs you in person.

Written and maintained by the Jharkhandnamechange.com documentation desk, led by founder Vipin Chauhan, B.Tech LL.B, with 5+ years filing with the Department of Publication. The rules on this page are quoted from the offices' own documents. From SEBI's Form ISR-1 and Form ISR-2, read on SEBI's website: the banker's attestation and original cancelled cheque for a signature update, the 15 days for a minor difference, the documents that explain a difference in names, and the rule that the registrar "shall not insist on Affidavits or Attestation / Notarization or indemnity". From Protean's instructions for the PAN change request form: the box for an incorrect or unclear photograph or signature, the original PAN card, the proof of name change, and the signing rules. From the Department of Publication's guidelines: that the change of name form is "signed by the individual in his/her old name". Three limits are declared openly on the page itself rather than buried here. First, we found no Reserve Bank rule on how a bank records a new signature, so we print no bank form or charge. Second, we print no depository participant's procedure, because each has its own. Third, we found no rule that forces anybody to change a signature after a name change, and we say only that.
