Name on domestic flight ticket in India
I booked an Indian domestic flight with my wife. I entered her first name as "Lakshmi" but her identification card says "Chaitanyalakshmi". Will this difference cause any problems?
Best Answer
I faced this issue a couple of years ago on an IndiGo flight within India. My last name did not completely appear on the ticket because technically there was a space in my last name and the booking server did not allow that. I explained the situation at the time of check in and there was no issue.
However, the problem is actually being able to enter the airport as there is a verification at the entrance where they match the names on the ID card and the ticket. They are authorized to deny entry if they find this suspicious.
The best method is to call the airlines and get it corrected. It should not cost you any money.

Is middle name required for domestic flights in India?
Even though your boarding pass may not match your government-issued ID (i.e. your middle name is not on it), if your passenger information is correct, there will not be a problem. Bottom Line: Even if you forget to put your middle name in when booking your ticket, chances are there will be no issues when flying.What name should I put on my plane ticket?
All the friendly folks at the TSA care about is that the name on your passport and your name on your airline ticket match. Your passport most likely has your first name, your middle name, (spelled out rather than just an initial), and your maiden name. So, your plane ticket should be booked in your maiden name as well.Does name matter on flight ticket?
Although middle names generally don't matter much (at least when traveling domestically), airlines will also let you delete or add an initial or middle name. You just can't make changes to the date of birth and gender in conjunction with a name correction. The point is that you must still be the one traveling.Is middle name mandatory in air ticket?
It's not a problem at all. As long as the first and last names match you will be fine.How to Change your Name on a Flight Ticket | Macropahad

Answer 2
As far as my experience goes with domestic flights (Indigo, SpiceJet, AirAsia). I haven't faced any issue neither while entering into airport or while taking boarding pass. My wife has her surname (before marriage) in her passport while I always enter surname (after marriage).
so, I don't think that could be problem specially when you have got enough time to explain your issue in case you have been asked.
