in this case you need to visit the official website of the passport department. however you can also visit your nearest passport seva kendra. further you have to follow the procedure of filling up the correction form or the fresh application form on the website

Check the website of passport authorities there you will find the procedure for the same. If no answer is found there, you can go to the regional passport center, they will provide you with the form for filing the renewal of the passport and you can give the documents for change of mother's name there itself. keep in mind you need to have the proof of the same ready for them to check.
