Tribal Surname Spelling Correction in Jharkhand
Hembrom on the khatiyan, Hembram on the ST certificate, Hembrom on Aadhaar, हेम्ब्रम on the ration card, and a JSSC verification panel that reads the first three as two families. A Santali, Mundari, Ho or Kurukh surname has no single Roman spelling, because each clerk wrote what he heard, in a script that was never made for the sound; and this is the state's largest real name problem, the one that fails ST verification, holds up CNT and SPT land succession and bounces demat requests, and the one no page has been written for. This page is the router for it: why none of the variants is a misprint and why that changes the route, the two anchors, the ST certificate and khatiyan for the community and the Class 10 certificate for the person, the one-spelling-for-the-family decision in Roman, Devanagari and Ol Chiki, the community table, the correction record by record, what ST panels and the Circle Officer read, and the detailed Central Gazette process for the rare case that needs it.
A tribal surname spelling correction in Jharkhand starts from a fact the offices already accept: Hembrom and Hembram, Tirkey and Tirki, Kujur and Kujoor, Minz and Minj, Oraon, Uraon and Oram, Xalxo and Khalkho are honest Roman spellings of one Santali, Mundari, Ho or Kurukh word, and none is a misprint. So the case is never a public notice of a wrongly written name and never a change of name; it is a correction of each odd record to an anchor, and the only decision is which form the family fixes on. Two anchors govern. For the community, the Scheduled Tribe certificate and the khatiyan, because the ST certificate is the document that decides jobs, seats and land and names the father as the caste link, and the khatiyan is the oldest record the Circle Officer protects under the CNT and SPT Acts. For the person, the JAC Class 10 certificate. Where the two agree, that form is the family's spelling; where they differ, the family fixes on the ST certificate's form, reissues the ST certificate afresh on JharSewa in it if needed, and brings Aadhaar, the Class 10 certificate through the school, PAN, the passport and every other record to it, in Roman, in Devanagari, and for a Santali family in Ol Chiki where a record carries it. UIDAI's SOP treats the difference as a transliteration error corrected on any listed proof; SEBI's norms treat it as a minor mismatch; the passport office reads it as a change unless Aadhaar and the certificate already agree. The Gazette of India reaches a tribal surname only where a family adopts a form no record carries, or adds a community surname to first-name-only records, which is a change of name; or where a certificate carries a genuine misprint that is no form of the word and its issuer cannot correct it, which is a public notice.
There is no page ranking for tribal surname spelling correction in Jharkhand. The search returns Wikipedia entries that themselves say "Hembram, also spelled Hembrom" and "Oraon, also spelt Uraon", the Tribal Welfare Research Institute's community pages, and a forum where a Kurukh speaker corrects a blogger's "Tirki" to "Tirkey" and "Khalkho" to "Xalxo". That is the whole problem in one thread: the community itself holds more than one form, every form is right to someone, and a Government clerk with a Hindi keyboard produced a third. A one-and-the-same affidavit, which the all-India spelling pages sell, does not survive an ST verification panel, which reads the surname as the community link and not as a name.
This page is the router for tribal surnames and script crossings. Hindi-origin names and the general three-question router are on the name spelling correction page; the ST certificate itself, its reissue and the 2026 rulings are on the caste certificate page.
At a glance
- The rule
- None of the variants is wrong; the case is a correction to an anchor, never a misprint and never a change
- Community anchor
- The ST certificate and the khatiyan; the Circle Officer and the verification panel read these
- Person anchor
- The JAC Class 10 certificate; the passport, PAN and recruiters read this
- When they differ
- The ST certificate's form wins; reissue the certificate afresh if the family prefers the other, then bring everything to it
- Three scripts
- Roman on English records; Devanagari on the ration card, school register and JharSewa certificates; Ol Chiki where a Santali record carries it
- Instrument-free by rule
- UIDAI SOP: transliteration error and regional-language update; SEBI: minor mismatch; JharSewa: fresh issue on Aadhaar
- Never accept an affidavit
- ST verification panels, JAC, passport counters, the Circle Officer on CNT and SPT land
- Gazette
- Only for a community form no record carries, a surname added to first-name-only records, or a genuine misprint the issuer cannot correct
- Cost
- Mostly nil: JharSewa free, Aadhaar Rs 50 to Rs 75, JAC free in the window, PAN Rs 72 to Rs 107, the passport Rs 1,500
- Who reads it
- JSSC and JPSC ST verification, the Caste Scrutiny Committee, the Circle Officer, universities, the passport office, depositories
Key takeaways
- Stop looking for the "correct" spelling. There isn't one; there is the anchor's spelling, and the family adopts it.
- The ST certificate and the khatiyan are the community anchor. On CNT and SPT land, Aadhaar is corrected to the khatiyan, never the reverse.
- Write the family's form once in three scripts and correct every record, every sibling, every generation to it.
- No affidavit survives an ST verification panel; the surname is read as the community link, and only the ST certificate and the Class 10 certificate in one form pass it.
- A Hembrom-to-Hembram change is never a Gazette case; a public notice calling a known form "wrongly written" is returned.
- The Gazette is for a form no record carries, a surname added to a first-name-only record, or a genuine misprint the issuer cannot fix.
Why No Tribal Surname Spelling Is Wrong in Jharkhand, and Why That Changes the Route
Santali, Mundari and Ho are Austroasiatic languages and Kurukh is Dravidian; their vowels and consonants do not map onto the Roman alphabet or onto Devanagari, and no Government office ever fixed a transliteration standard for them. The Santali community writes its own script, Ol Chiki, recognised in the Eighth Schedule since 2003, in which each surname has one form; every Roman and Devanagari version is a rendering by a clerk, a missionary register or a survey settlement officer, made in a different decade. That is why the Kurukh speaker who insists on Tirkey and Xalxo and the clerk who wrote Tirki and Khalkho are both right, and why an office that treats one as a "spelling mistake" is asked which of the two is the mistake and cannot answer.
What follows for the public notice
A public notice declares a name "wrongly written as X"; the Department of Publication does not treat a known form of a word as wrongly written, and a notice that says Hembrom is a misprint of Hembram is returned with the fee gone. A genuine misprint, "Hembrm", is a different matter.
What follows for the affidavit
A one-and-the-same affidavit explains a difference to a bank; an ST verification panel is not reading the surname as a name but as the community link between the candidate, the father and the certificate, and it wants one form on the certificate and the Class 10, not an explanation.
What follows for the correction
Every office corrects a record to an anchor on a document that carries the anchor's form, and the family holds such a document already. The whole case is choosing the anchor and correcting to it; no instrument.
The Two Anchors for a Tribal Surname in Jharkhand: the ST Certificate and Khatiyan, and the Class 10 Certificate
| Anchor | What it anchors | Who reads it | Why it wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| The ST certificate, and the khatiyan behind it | The community: the surname as the link between you, your father and the tribe | JSSC and JPSC ST verification, the Caste Scrutiny Committee, the Circle Officer on CNT and SPT land, universities for reserved seats, scholarship portals | The ST certificate decides jobs, seats and land; the khatiyan is the oldest record and the one the tenancy Acts protect; the Circle Officer corrects Aadhaar to the khatiyan, never the khatiyan to Aadhaar |
| The JAC Class 10 certificate | The person: the name every identity document copies | The passport office, PAN, banks, depositories, recruiters for the identity check | The oldest institutional record of the person; the anchor for every non-tribal name too |
They agree
That form is the family's spelling. Correct Aadhaar and everything else to it; most cases end here.
They differ, the family prefers the ST certificate's form
Correct the Class 10 certificate through the school against the register, where the register carries that form; otherwise take the ST certificate's form as the anchor and bring every record to it, with the Class 10 read beside the certificate at verification.
They differ, the family prefers the Class 10's form
Reissue the ST certificate afresh on JharSewa in that form, with the father's certificate and the khatiyan, and the Sub-Divisional Officer reads the two forms as one word; then Aadhaar and the rest. On CNT and SPT land, keep the khatiyan's form for the land record and carry the certificate as the link.
Tribal Surname Spelling Variants in Jharkhand by Community: Santali, Munda, Ho, Kurukh, Kharia and Christian Tribal
| Community and language | Surname pairs seen on records | Why the variants exist | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Santal, Santali (Ol Chiki) | Hembrom / Hembram; Soren / Soren; Murmu / Murmoo; Marandi / Marndi; Hansda / Hansdak / Hansdah; Tudu / Tudoo; Kisku / Kisko; Besra / Baskey; Hasda | Ol Chiki has one form for each; Roman and Devanagari renderings differ on the vowel and the final consonant | Odisha and West Bengal records favour Hembram; Jharkhand records are split; the family's ST certificate decides |
| Munda, Mundari | Munda / Moonda; Horo / Hooro; Kandulna / Kandulana; Surin / Suren; Topno / Tapno; Purty / Purti; Sanga / Sangha | The clan name doubles as the surname; vowel length and aspiration vary by clerk | Munda as a surname and Munda as the community name are printed on different lines of the ST certificate |
| Ho | Sundi / Sundhi; Purty / Purti; Bodra / Bodara; Balmuchu / Balmuchoo; Banra / Bandra; Samad / Samadh; Kudada | Ho and Mundari share clans; West Singhbhum registers rendered them in Hindi first | The Chaibasa and Jamshedpur Circle Officers read the khatiyan form |
| Oraon, Kurukh | Tirkey / Tirki; Kujur / Kujoor / Kuzur; Minz / Minj; Xalxo / Khalkho / Kalkho; Lakra / Lakda; Ekka / Ekkka; Toppo / Topo; Kerketta / Kerkatta; Bara / Barla; Kispotta / Kishpotta; Oraon / Uraon / Oram / Urang as the community | Kurukh sounds the Roman alphabet lacks; the community's own preferred forms, Tirkey and Xalxo, differ from the Hindi clerk's | The community name itself is spelt three ways on ST certificates; the certificate's form is the anchor, not the Wikipedia one |
| Kharia | Kullu / Kulu; Dungdung / Dung Dung; Soreng / Sorang; Kerketta; Kiro / Kero; Baa / Ba; Tete / Tete; Samad | Two-syllable clan names split or joined by clerks | A space or its absence is a spelling difference to a portal |
| Christian tribal families, all communities | The church register's form against the school register's: Xalxo against Khalkho, Ekka against Ekka, Kujur against Kujoor; a baptismal name added before the tribal name | Missionary registers used their own Roman renderings decades before the schools did | The baptism record is evidence for the Registrar and the board; the ST certificate still anchors the community form |
One Tribal Surname in Three Scripts: Roman, Devanagari and Ol Chiki on Jharkhand Records
Roman
The passport, PAN, the English Class 10 certificate, the bank, the depository and the recruitment portal. Fix the form here first, because these are the readers that fail a candidate.
Devanagari
The ration card, the school admission register, the JharSewa certificates' Hindi line, the khatiyan and Register-II, Aadhaar's local-language line. A Roman fix alone leaves the Hindi form odd on exactly the records the ST panel and the Circle Officer read; UIDAI's regional-language update, under the SOP, needs no gazette.
Ol Chiki
Santali school certificates in Ol Chiki-medium schools, the Sahitya and Santali-language records, some church registers. Where a record carries it, its one form is the community's own and is read as the source when two Roman forms compete.
Central Gazette Name Change Process From Jharkhand, Step by Step, For the Rare Tribal Surname Case That Needs It
A tribal surname spelt two ways is never a Gazette case on its own: both forms are honest, the anchor decides, and each office corrects to it on the ST certificate and the Class 10 certificate. The Gazette reaches a tribal surname in two cases only. One: a family adopts the community's Roman form that NO record of the person carries, or adds a community surname to first-name-only records, which is a CHANGE OF NAME. Two: a certificate carries a genuine misprint, a letter dropped or swapped that is no known form of the word, and its issuer cannot correct it, which is a PUBLIC NOTICE of a wrongly written name. There is no Gazette office in Jharkhand and no State Gazette route; the file goes to the Department of Publication in Delhi in your own name. Here is the whole Central Gazette process, in the order it happens, with what each paper says.
Route check and wording, day 0
Confirm that you need a gazette at all: a Hembrom-to-Hembram or Tirkey-to-Tirki difference does not, because a record you hold carries the form and the office corrects to it. Then fix the exact form, in Roman, Devanagari and, for a Santali family, Ol Chiki, against the ST certificate and the Class 10 certificate, and confirm it in writing; the caste certificate is reissued in it before the file is sent. Every later paper copies this wording.
Affidavit, day 1 to 2
Sworn on non-judicial stamp paper before a notary at your district court, in the OLD name as on your current Aadhaar: old name, new name, father's or husband's name, address with pin code, reason, verification clause, notary seal and register number. Stamp paper and notary commonly Rs 100 to Rs 500. Format on the affidavit page.
Two newspaper notices, day 3 to 7
One Hindi daily and one English daily in editions that circulate in Jharkhand, identical wording quoting the affidavit number and date. Keep the complete original page of each paper, masthead and date visible, two copies. Rs 800 to Rs 4,000 at actual cost. Detail on the newspaper page.
Proforma, CD and request letter, day 7 to 8
The Department's proforma typed in two copies, headed "No. ADVT IV /", signed in the old name, two witnesses with full addresses and pin codes, two photographs, self-attested IDs of you and both witnesses; a CD with the notice in Word without the witness portion plus a signed certificate that soft and hard copy match; a request letter to the Controller of Publications. Full list on the documents page.
Fee on BharatKosh, day 8
Only on bharatkosh.gov.in, in your own name, selecting the Department of Publication and the Gazette notification purpose: commonly Rs 1,100 for an adult, Rs 1,700 for a minor, revised each financial year, non-refundable. Print the receipt for the file. No demand draft, no cash, no counter anywhere in Jharkhand.
Delivered in Delhi in your name, day 8 to 10
The five papers, affidavit and pages in original, to the Department of Publication, Civil Lines, behind Delhi Vidhan Sabha Metro Station, Delhi 110054, in person or by tracked post in the applicant's name. Our Delhi office delivers Jharkhand files in your name. Nothing is returned, so keep a scanned set.
Published and downloaded, day 40 to 55
Part IV is released weekly; publication commonly takes 30 to 45 days. Search your old or new name on egazette.gov.in, download the free PDF, and note the Gazette number, date and page. No attestation is needed for use in India. A wrong print is corrected by corrigendum within six months.
Then the ST certificate, Aadhaar and every record
Carry the printed Gazette PDF with the affidavit and both newspaper pages to the ST certificate first, reissued on JharSewa in the new form, then Aadhaar, then the Class 10 certificate through the school, then every record, each office reading the Gazette number, date and page. The gazette pillar, with the July 2025 story of the Jharkhand Gazette, is the gazette name change page.
The five papers, line by line
| Paper | What it contains, clause by clause | The mistake that returns the file |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Affidavit | Title "Affidavit for change of name". Deponent's old name, son or daughter or wife of, age, address with pin code. Clause 1: that the deponent is a citizen of India and a resident of the address. Clause 2: the old name as on Aadhaar and the documents it appears on. Clause 3: that the deponent has decided to be known as the new name, spelt in full, from the date of the affidavit. Clause 4: the reason, in one line. Clause 5: that the old and new names refer to one and the same person. Verification clause: that the contents are true to the deponent's knowledge, sworn at the place on the date. Deponent's signature in the OLD name; notary's seal, signature, register serial and date. | Signed in the new name; a spelling in clause 3 that differs from the proforma by a letter; a photocopy sent instead of the original. |

| 3. Proforma, two copies | Headed "No. ADVT IV /" with the date. Wording for a change of name: "I, [old name], son or daughter or wife of [name], employed as [occupation] at [address] or residing at [address], have changed my name and shall hereafter be known as [new name]. It is certified that I have complied with other legal requirements in this connection." Signature in the OLD name. Two witnesses, each with full name, father's name, full address with pin code and signature. Computer typed, no cutting or overwriting. | Handwritten; one witness; a witness without a pin code; signed in the new name; the wrongly-written-name wording used for a change, or the reverse. |
| 4. CD with certificate | The proforma's notice in a Word file, without the witness portion, with the old name typed in place of the signature. A signed certificate on paper: "Certified that the soft copy on the enclosed CD and the hard copy of the notice are the same." The CD labelled with the applicant's name. | A PDF instead of Word; the witness portion left in; the certificate unsigned. |
| 5. Request letter | To the Controller of Publications, Department of Publication, Civil Lines, Delhi 110054. Subject: publication of change of name in the Gazette of India, Part IV. The request, the list of enclosures, the BharatKosh receipt number and date, the applicant's mobile and email, the applicant's signature in the old name. | No receipt number; the letter signed by an agent. |

Download the receipt with its transaction reference and print it for the file.
Reading the published notice for each office
The e-Gazette PDF carries the Gazette of India number, the Part IV heading, the date of publication, the page number and your notice in its own paragraph. The Sub-Divisional Officer, UIDAI, JAC and the Circle Officer read the number, the date and the page; write them on every covering letter. A notice with a misprint is corrected by corrigendum within six months, free where the press erred; a corrected notice is what each office gets.
Tribal Surname Correction in Jharkhand, Record by Record, to the Family's Form
Fix the form
The ST certificate's form and the khatiyan's, checked against the Class 10 certificate and the father's certificate; the family's one form written in three scripts. Where the ST certificate must change, reissue it afresh on JharSewa first, on the father's certificate and the khatiyan.
Aadhaar, both lines
At the Seva Kendra as a transliteration error and a regional-language update under the SOP, on the ST certificate or the Class 10 certificate; Roman and Devanagari lines together, one of two lifetime updates. Rs 50 to Rs 75.
Class 10, PAN, passport
The Class 10 certificate through the school where the register carries the form, free in the window; PAN on CR-01; the passport by re-issue on Aadhaar and the certificate in one form. Then the residence and EWS certificates afresh, the voter roll on Form 8, the licence.
Land, ration, shares
The khatiyan and Register-II stay in their form on CNT and SPT land, with the certificate as the link; the ration card at the BSO in Devanagari; the RTA or DP under SEBI's minor-mismatch rule before any dematerialisation.
The whole record order is on the name change process page; the ST certificate reissue and the 2026 rulings are on the caste certificate page; the Circle Officer's correction of a recorded name is on the property page.
What ST Verification Panels, the Circle Officer and the Depositories Read in a Tribal Surname
| Reader | Compares | A mismatch means |
|---|---|---|
| JSSC and JPSC ST verification | The surname on the ST certificate, the Class 10 certificate, the father's certificate and the form; the community line on the certificate against the State's ST list | The reservation claim refused and the candidate treated as general, or the certificate referred to the Caste Scrutiny Committee; particulars in the form by the cut-off, upheld by the Jharkhand High Court in 2026 |
| The Caste Scrutiny Committee | The khatiyan, the father's and grandfather's records, the community's customs, the surname's clan | A refused or cancelled certificate where the chain does not close; a different Roman form of one clan is not itself a ground, but it invites the enquiry |
| The Circle Officer, CNT and SPT land | The khatiyan's form against Aadhaar, the ST certificate and the succession papers | A refused entry until the link is proved; on this land a name difference is examined as a possible transfer to a non-tribal |
| Universities and scholarship portals | The ST certificate, the Class 10 certificate and the income certificate, matched automatically | A withheld seat or scholarship until the three carry one form |
| The passport office | Aadhaar and the Class 10 certificate on the form | A difference read as a change, and the Gazette-or-two-notices-plus-two-documents rule applied |
| NSDL and CDSL | The demat account name against the RTA's physical-holder database | The dematerialisation request bounced on the name alert |
Tribal Surname Spelling Correction Fees and Timelines in Jharkhand

Tribal Surname Mistakes That Fail the ST Verification in Jharkhand
Route
- Filing a public notice that calls Hembrom "wrongly written" as Hembram; the Department returns it.
- Filing a change of name from Tirki to Tirkey when the ST certificate already carries Tirkey.
- Carrying an affidavit to an ST verification instead of one form on the certificate and the Class 10.
- Correcting the khatiyan to Aadhaar on CNT or SPT land, and inviting the Circle Officer's transfer enquiry.
Coverage
- Correcting the Roman line and leaving the Devanagari line on the ration card and the certificate's Hindi line.
- One sibling adopting the Class 10 form and another the ST certificate's; the panel reads the family, not the candidate.
- Leaving the father's certificate in the old form; he is the caste link.
- Spending both Aadhaar updates on the way to a form the family had not agreed.
Tribal Surname Terms Explained for Jharkhand
- Script crossing
- A Santali, Mundari, Ho or Kurukh word rendered into Roman or Devanagari by a clerk, with no fixed standard, so that each rendering is an honest form.
- Community anchor

- Person anchor
- The JAC Class 10 certificate, the record every identity document copies.
- Family form
- The one spelling in Roman, Devanagari and Ol Chiki the family fixes on and brings every member's records to.

- Caste Scrutiny Committee
- The State body that decides a disputed tribal claim on the khatiyan, the ancestors' records and the community's customs.
- CNT and SPT Acts
- The Chotanagpur Tenancy Act 1908 and the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act 1949, under which the Circle Officer examines any change in a recorded tribal name as a possible transfer.
- Transliteration error
- UIDAI's SOP category under which a tribal surname variant is corrected on Aadhaar on any listed proof, without a gazette.
- Regional-language update
- UIDAI's SOP category for the Devanagari line, also without a gazette.
- Genuine misprint
- A form that is no known rendering of the word, a dropped or swapped letter, corrected by the issuer or, where it cannot, by a public notice.
- Not a Gazette case
- Any difference between two known forms of one tribal surname; the Department does not treat a known form as wrongly written.

Tribal Surname Spelling Correction in Jharkhand in Eight Lines
The short version
- Hembrom and Hembram, Tirkey and Tirki, Oraon and Uraon are honest forms of one word; none is a misprint.
- The ST certificate and the khatiyan anchor the community; the Class 10 certificate anchors the person.
- Where they differ, the ST certificate's form wins; reissue it afresh if the family prefers the other, then bring every record to it.
- One form in Roman, Devanagari and Ol Chiki, written down once, for every member and generation.
- Aadhaar under the SOP, JAC through the school, PAN on CR-01, the passport by re-issue, JharSewa afresh, the RTA under SEBI's rule.
- On CNT and SPT land, Aadhaar is corrected to the khatiyan, never the reverse.
- No affidavit passes an ST verification; one form on the certificate and the Class 10 does.
- The Gazette only for a form no record carries, a surname added to a first-name-only record, or a genuine misprint the issuer cannot fix.
