If you have changed your name then you can ask your bank to update the same in the account as well. In this guide, I will tell you how you can change name in Punjab and Sind Bank account.
There is no online process that can help you change your name in the account. What I mean by online is the use of internet banking and mobile banking.
The only process available is to visit your home branch personally. And submit an application letter to the bank with your name change proof document.
Here the most important thing you should know is. The bank will accept your request only if you have a proper proof document with you.
Unless you provide a valid document that certifies your new name. Your name in the bank records will not be updated. The banks in India are very strict when it comes to the updation of KYC details.
If you have changed your name legally. Then you can provide your name change notification as to the proof to the bank.
In case you have changed your name after marriage. Then your marriage certificate can be used as a proof document.
And in case if there is a spelling mistake in your name in the bank account. Then you can provide the document that has your name spelled right on it.
The bank will not ask you to submit the original copy of the document. Instead of that, you need to provide the photocopy to the bank. And show your original copy for the purpose of verification.
