Yes, a government employee or pensioner in India can legally convert their religion, as the Constitution of India guarantees the Right to Freedom of Religion under Article 25. This right includes the freedom to profess, practice, and propagate any religion and also to change one’s religion voluntarily. To update records, the individual must first undergo a voluntary conversion and obtain a certificate or declaration if applicable. Then, prepare a notarized affidavit stating the change, publish it in two newspapers (one English, one local language), and optionally notify the change in the Official Gazette. To inform the pension or service department, submit a covering letter along with copies of the affidavit, newspaper publications, conversion certificate (if available), and updated ID proof. This ensures official records reflect the new religion for all future correspondence.
