Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I reside in the US and am US citizen with OCI card (Overseas Citizen of India). I have 2 houses in India; one in Bombay and second in Ahemdabad and need to change the spelling of my name on the Property Deed. I have changed it legally in US on US Passport as well as on OCI Card, Pan Card, and Gazzeting for India.

Is the name change possible on these houses without change in ownership or transfer ?? If yes, please could you advise the process.

Thanks

You can either go for a rectification deed it the other party is agreeable if not then you may file a suit before a court under Section 26 of Specific Relief Act 1963. The law provides for relief to parties in case the real intention of the party is not properly reflected in the documents executed because of a bona fide mistake of fact.
