India’s Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Act becomes effective on October 1, following President’s assent in September. The amendment bill was passed by both Houses of Parliament, and it modifies the existing legal framework governing the registration of births and deaths.
The main change is to Section 13(3) of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. Different outlets focus on what this timing and modification imply for implementation, including how the updated section will operate once the law comes into force. While the sources agree on the effective date and that the amendment follows parliamentary approval and presidential assent, they present the details of the change primarily through its targeted alteration of the 1969 act’s specific provision.
