Retiral benefits depend on your records agreeing. A name difference between your service record and identity documents can hold things up β here's how to fix it.
At retirement, your service record, pension payment order (PPO), bank account and identity documents are all checked against each other. If your service book carries one form of your name and your Aadhaar, PAN or bank another β a spelling difference, a married name, or an initial β the mismatch can hold pension processing or the payment itself.
