A small inconsistency in your father's name as per the income certificate and other papers might not bring about the rejection of your scholarship application.

However, you must speak to this discrepancy in order not to have some complications arise at the verification stage.

Here's what you can do:

Understand the Inconsistency:

Contact Issuing Body: Ask the body that issued the income certificate for clarification regarding the issue of the name.

Add Supporting Documents: If possible, attach supporting documents such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, or voter ID card to prove your father's identity and the change in your name.

Submit an Explanation:

Write a clear explanation of the difference and the reason why your name is different, along with your application.

Attach all supporting documents relevant to your case to support your claim.

Council with the Scholarship Authority :

Contact the awarding body of the scholarship directly and explain your issue and seek their guideline on what to do.

They may indicate specific instructions or even require you to produce more documentation.

If you are truthful and transparent about your issue, then the explanation will most likely support the application.

It is always a good idea to contact the relevant authorities for the most recent and correct information about the requirements and processes involved with regard to your scholarship application.
