Changing your name? We publish it in the Gujarat Gazette, start to finish — ₹3,000 all-inclusive (Express ₹5,500), published within 60 working days or a 100% refund.
Normal plan: your published Gujarat Gazette within 60 working days. Express: within 30 working days — counted from the working day after full payment is received and your application number is generated, and we confirm your exact end date in writing. Working days are days the Gazette Department, Rajkot is open; Sundays, 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Government of Gujarat public holidays are not counted. If we miss your window you get a 100% refund of your invoice within 24 hours — no deduction for the Government fee, e-stamp, notary or drafting — and we still deliver your Gazette at no further service charge. In practice most of our filed gazettes publish within about 15 days of filing. The full terms are sent with your quote, before you pay.
