India Requires Death Registration Within 21 Days Through Digital System
In India, deaths must be registered within 21 days at the local municipal corporation or gram panchayat where the death occurred, as mandated by the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. Hospitals are required to certify and send cause-of-death details directly to registrars, while home deaths need a doctor's certificate or family affidavit. Required documents vary by state but generally include medical certificates, identity proofs, and cremation receipts. Since October 2023, all registrations are digital via the Civil Registration System portal, with a mobile app introduced in 2024 for remote applications.
