Hi Tharun,
I recently faced a similar situation in the last few days. I suggest that you change the name in your bank because documents like your PAN card should have the correct name. If you join a new company, they will verify your name using your PAN card details and number. Therefore, it would be wise to contact your bank relationship manager to update your name.

Dear Tarun,
I read about your problem regarding suffering from a PF issue. One solution is if the employer verified in the company letterhead is Mr. XYZ s/o GHJ and Mr. YKK s/o GHJ is the same person, the PF officer accepted the form. This is possible, and many cases have been solved by the PF through this process.

Hi, guys. Thank you so much for your help. Finally, my name got changed in the bank account, so I am going to apply very shortly. One more thing, guys, I have updated KYC details in the UAN member portal (I uploaded a scanned copy of PAN card), but my employer is asking to update bank details in the UAN members portal. Do I need to upload a canceled cheque leaf in the KYC section, or is there any other way to update bank details in the UAN members portal?
