Indian Passport Surrender with Legally changed name - BLS Surrey

[vincyluthra]

In our Indian Passports, the last name was missing, when we migrated to Canada, we got our legal name changed, got the name change certificate, and updated all Canadian Govt. IDs.

Now since we need to surrender our Indian Citizenship / Passport by visiting BLS, I wonder do we need to fill in the details as per our Indian Passport (which has our old name) or Canadian Passport (which has a new name), as the names are different?

I personally think, since they will be issuing a surrender certificate, I should fill in the details as per the new Canadian passport so as the name on the surrender certificate is correct. We'll attach a name change certificate to support our claim. But I am not sure.

In case somebody has been through the same scenario, please advise. Thanks!
