- You can correct her name in the school record , if she has not passed the exam of school board till now , but the correction in the passport may time time and required many documents 

- Hence, you can follow the name as mentioned in the passport , if it is not mandatory to be corrected.

What is your surname exactly if your father's name is BalaSubramani.

 

Kindly write in below format assuming for example:

Do mention correct name middle name and surname. This format is applied globally.

To change your name in her passport, you have to apply for "Re-issue" of passport.

someone wants to alter their middle name or last name, they must go to a Passport Seva Kendra or the official website, apply for a new passport, download Form No. II for Miscellaneous Services, and fill out the necessary information.

 

Along with the form, the applicant will have to submit the following documents:

 

Original Passport along with a copy of the first two and last two pages that have been self-attested.

Based on the reason for the change of name, the following documents will have to be submitted:

If a woman wants to change her name after being married, she must present a copy of her husband's passport (if he has one), as well as an attested copy of the marriage licence or other supporting documentation, such as a joint photo and an analogous affidavit (Annexure D').

The applicant for a divorce who wishes to change their name must submit a certified photocopy of the divorce decree together with a signed affidavit or Deed Poll (Annexure E').

A copy of the divorce decree or death certificate, along with evidence of the second marriage, must be submitted if the applicant wants to alter his or her name following remarriage.

If none of the aforementioned situations apply, submit a sworn affidavit or Deed Poll (Annexure E') together with an original advertisement for a name change in two daily newspapers (this is accepted only 30 days after publishing of the said advertisement).

The above must be submitted either online or at the Passport Seva Kendra on the appointed day.

The corrected Passport will be sent to the applicant after a few days.

There is no surname at all in this because your name is Balasubramani hence 'Bala' cannot be your first name and 'subramani'  your surname.

Therefore if your daughter name is Arpita Balasubramani, then there is no reason to add any surname in because there is no surname at all  

If at all you would like your daughter to be known as 'ARPITA'  alone and have her second name or middle name then you can apply for reissue of passport with the changed name. 

In that case you can leave the surname column as blank. 

It is not mandatory to get the surname recorded in the passport, even a single name without middle name or surname is accepted. 

Do not complicate the simple issue, you can decide. based on the circumstances that would suit the situation. 

You can choose her name as ARPITA OR ARPITA BALASUBRAMANI in her school records. 

There is no compulsion on you in this regard.

It appears that you are in a very great confusion over the petty issue. 

There is no necessity to split your name if that is appearing as BALASUBRAMANI in all your records. 

By splitting your own name you will make things more complicated,.

If your daughter's father name mismatches to her certificate's name and that of the your own documents having your name combined, then she may face problems in future, therefore do not invite trouble by making any changes which are not making any difference on how she is called or known.
