Utkarsh sfb opened my online savings account with an extra space between my first name and last name

I opened a basic savings account with utkarsh small finance bank online.
I was trying to add the above new account as beneficiary from my icici. While verifying the beneficiary name it asked to update from records. Voila it added an extra space between first and last name. At first I thought it as some error. I tried again, same result. Went ahead and tried 1 rs imps. Worked
Thought some glitch and tried adding same beneficiary from my hdfc and guess what same extra space.
So my records in Utkarsh Bank has an extra space, Why would they do it? How did it happen. It automatically fetched my details from adhar. I'm really bullish about correcting thus before parking large funds.
Did anyone experience similar?
 
This is expected from a SFB, even PSU banks do not have appropriate fields for first, middle and last name.

Check if the name is without space as per bank records or it's only the lookup name having the issue.

NEFT/RTGS/IMPS don't look for correct name since 2019 as RBI allowed tfr to be credit without matching name. Before this, an incorrect name lead to txn reversal. Though IMPS never had this correct name issue as since its inception it wither worked on Mob Number + 7 digit MMID or full acc. number and no name matching.

I too have an extra space in one of account. No problem faced with it. Even UPI verification using that account for name matching gives no error.

The only reason I never used my aadhaar for anything like opening bank account or any financial products is for same reason. I visit branch and complete these formalities and insist the person to let me check the details by telling him that, in future, I won't blame him for any mistake,

Even if you don't correct, it wont be any problem if all the letters are matching correctly in name and surname. System don't take spaces are field value anymore.
