If your aadhar card has an incorrect spelling of your father's name, you can get it corrected and the time extended for making corrections in the aadhar card is for another 3 months.

The PAN card also can be corrected subsequently 

The name given in the bank account and the post office account need not be changed for now, you can get it corrected when you are opening a new account in future.

Your educational certificates have the proper name hence you need not be worried on that count too.

If possible your father can apply for correction of name in his Aadhaar records, based on documentary evidence. Otherwise, you need not worry unnecessarily, as all other records have his correct name.

Dear Client,

First, you should start the corrections by editing the Aadhar card, which is the basic card attached to other records as well. To correct a spelling, the following steps need to be followed, which include completing a name correction application online through the UIDAI website or going to an Aadhar enrollment centre to fill out the same with appropriate official documents, for example, passports and school marksheets that have the right spelling.

The sequence of ID proof, PAN card, driving licence, bank accounts, bank post office, mutual fund investments, and income tax returns should be followed immediately after updating the Aadhar card. Every institution has its own process of changing names, and the name correction process often entails the use of a properly filled-out name correction form, identity proof reflecting the new name, and, in some cases, a copy of the new Aadhar card.

However, this might take much time; though, it ensures consistency concerning competitors’ actions and legal issues. It is essential to have updated documents because they support various activities, such as financial business operations, work with taxes, travel, and legal situations.

You need to change it in all documents or execute an notarised affidavit. Change through gazette notification only valid if you want to change your name or original name was incorrect
