Things to be done by the customer before contacting us for the Name change :

1. Apply for the name change on the PAN card.

2. Once the new name is updated on the PAN card, the name in the bank records should be updated

3. Update the correct name on the Aadhar card(as KYC validation is required) Additionally, you are also requirem to share a copy of your PAN card with the updated name for verification purposes. Once verified, we will provide the list of documents needed for the name change process.


The name change process involves three steps:

1. KYC Modification

2. Updating the new name in the existing folios

3. Updating the new name in the Scripbox records


For updating the new name in KYC (7-10 working days) (Scanned and Physical Copies):

  • Self-signed PAN
