My late grandfather, Chandkiran, had two children, Sanjay and Vikas. Sanjay married Anita (my mother) and had two sons, Ashwani (my brother) and Rajneesh (me). Sanjay passed away shortly after we were born. Later, Vikas married my mother and took care of us since we were very young. In our educational documents, such as marksheets, and in public records like Aadhar and Pan cards, Vikas is registered as our father. However, in the tehsil records, Sanjay is listed as our father. When we applied for a farmer card, we faced difficulties due to this inconsistency. We want to ensure that the tehsil records are updated, as changing this information in marksheets and other documents will be challenging. Could you please guide us on how to correct this?
You must be having the birth certificate issued by the authorities. The birth certificate reflect the name of your biological father. It is doubtful that they would change the name of a biological father in your birth certificate.

How much time will it take and what will be the process? i passed my 10th in 2015 and 12th in 2017. is there a shorter way to correct this like, transfer this land to vikas again(since he is real brother). since it is our family matter we will not contest any claims.

To correct tehsil records and reflect Vikas as your father, you can file an application with the Tehsildar, supported by an affidavit from your family, Aadhaar/PAN cards, and other documents showing Vikas as your father. Alternatively, Vikas can re-transfer the property to you through a gift deed or mutation process, which may be quicker but could involve charges. If required, obtain a court declaration affirming Vikas’s legal parentage to further support your case. Engaging a local lawyer can streamline the process, which may take 1–3 months depending on the chosen route and jurisdiction.
Dear Client,
You can systematically correct your father's name in the tehsil records bymaking it consistent with your educational and identification documents. First, you prepare a sworn affidavit explaining the circumstances, such as your father Sanjay's death, your upbringing by Vikas, and the registration of Vikas as your father in other official records, supported by documents like your Aadhar card, PAN card, and educational certificates. Since this is a family matter and uncontested, all stakeholders, including Vikas and other family members, can sign a no-objection affidavit affirming the legitimacy of the correction. Submit an application to the tehsildar or the local revenue office requesting the correction in the land records, along with the affidavits, Sanjay's death certificate, and supporting documents. The tehsildar can verify or hear the claim with the help of witnesses, such as family members or community members, who may provide testimony. Uponverification, the tehsildar can update the records and order an entry that Vikas is your father. Alternatively, because Vikas is Sanjay's real brother, you could transfer the land to Vikas, which, then, can be transferred back to you. His name will always appear in the records this way. It would not need a rectification of historical entries but would incur additional registration and transfer fees. Normally it takes 3 to 6 months tocorrect or transfer. It may speed up if there is no dispute or objection. Direct transfer of ownership over land directly to Vikas and then again to you might be quicker provided that the family agrees, though this will involveregistration fees. It is better to consult a lawyer in your area who specializes in land and revenue cases for properdocumentation and non-delay.
This is a family matter with no disputes or objections from anyone. Our grandmother is still alive, and we are willing to provide statements as required by the lawyers. For context, Sanjay passed away when I was one year old, and my birth certificate mentions a male child born to Sanjay. However, another detailed certificate records Vikas as my father, along with my name and my mother’s name. Could you suggest the easiest solution to resolve this step by step and complications which can occur.
You cannot have 2 birth certificates
the presumption would be second one may be false as father name is different
you should cancel second birth certificate and change educational records
Will it possible some how to change the owner ship status of land in tehsil records. As i said it is our family matter and we will issue statements as lawyers say and will not contest any claim.
You cannot change the land records as your father mane is correctly reflected on the records
there is no adoption deed executed by mother on your biological father demise
Ownership status can be changed only through mutation
Your father's name in your birth certificate is that of your biological father and not your step father.
You can change the name of your father in the birth certificate only when you are legally adopted by your step father hence the name of your step father appearing in all the records as your father is illegal and invalid.
You can consult your own lawyer for the possibilities to manage the transfer of property accordingly.
