In some government hospitals, the Resident Medical Officer (RMO) has the power of the sub-registrar and is authorized to certify births that occur in the hospital. In these cases, the certificate will be available from the hospital itself.
[i]n India the registration of births and deaths is carried out under provisions of the Registration of Birth and Death (RBD) Act, 1969 and [the] Registrar General, India is entrusted with the responsibilities of co-ordinating and unifying the activities of the Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths. [The] Chief Registrar of Births and Deaths in each State [and Union Territory (UT)] is the implementing authority and the registration of births and deaths is done by the local registrars appointed by the [s]tate [g]overnment under whose jurisdiction the event has taken place. (India n.d.a)
Sources further indicate that copies of death certificates are available online on the website of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India (Lawyer 23 Apr. 2017; Hindustan Times 25 Nov. 2015). The Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India's website allows a user to search and verify registered deaths and to check on the status of application of a reported death (India n.d.c). In November 2015, Indian newspaper Hindustan Times reported that the administration of Chandigarh Union Territory [which also serves as the capital of Punjab state] had uploaded data on births and deaths to this website (Hindustan Times 25 Nov. 2015). Hindustan Times added that "with this, residents can now take any number of copies of the birth and death certificates sitting at home" (Hindustan Times 25 Nov. 2015). The same source also states that a feature of the online system "is that all the certificates have a unique quick response code (QR code) printed on them through which the authenticity of each certificate can easily be validated" (Hindustan Times 25 Nov. 2015). Corroborating information could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate within the time constraints of this Response.
However, the Lawyer explained that "[i]t is essential that the death certificate has been entered in the online records. Old deaths were not entered. However, even if the death is not entered online, one can obtain an off line copy by making an application to Registrar Birth and Deaths" (Lawyer 23 Apr. 2017). Similarly, Hindustan Times states that the data on births and death in Chandigarh Union Territory uploaded to the website of the Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India was for 1995 and after, adding that "[f]or births and deaths occurring prior to 1995, certificates will be issued manually as before" (Hindustan Times 25 Nov. 2015).
