The government has announced that applications for birth and death certificates that have been pending for more than two years will now be processed, while the registration procedure will continue to follow existing rules.
The government has introduced a new policy to address the backlog of birth and death certificate applications that have been pending for over two years. Under the revised guidelines, applicants who have waited beyond the two‑year mark will now receive relief and their documents will be processed.
The decision comes after widespread complaints from citizens who faced long delays in obtaining essential civil documents. While the application process will be expedited, the registration step will still adhere to the old procedural rules.
Officials say the change aims to reduce administrative bottlenecks and ensure that vital records are issued in a timely manner. The new directive is expected to be implemented across all states within the next few weeks.
Citizens are advised to submit their pending applications to the nearest municipal office or online portal to take advantage of the relief measures.
