Here is another stupid "sarkari" issue which one of the friend faced at Indian Embassy in US when he applied for his passport renewal.His old passport has Vasai address which was in Thane district and since 1st August 2014 ,a new district "Palghar " was carved out from Thane and Vasai was included in this new district.

I am posting images here for everyone's benefit. If anyone is facing similar issue for any government service which needs your address updation with new district name please use ...
