GHMC to adopt CRS for issuing birth & death certificates
Hyderabad: In the wake of multiple irregularities concerning birth and death certificates, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation ( GHMC ) is set to transition from its existing software to the Civil Registration System (CRS) for issuing these essential documents. This system will be operated by the Office of the Registrar General of India (ORGI). A few days ago, the state govt granted permission to migrate to the ORGI's CRS for the registration of births and deaths within GHMC limits. This move aims to maintain a unified database of all such certificates, in compliance with the amendments to the Registration of Births and Deaths (RBD) Act. The decision follows the discovery of more than 22,000 fraudulent birth and death certificates. On average, GHMC issues around 20,000 such certificates annually within the city. States including Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana have already implemented this system.

The entire application process will be conducted digitally. Initially, we will test this framework in two circles as a pilot project before rolling it out across the corporation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo All certificates generated through the CRS will feature QR codes for verification," said a senior official in the Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) department. Recently, GHMC observed that some MeeSeva centres were abusing the instant approval system by generating birth and death certificates without uploading the requisite supporting documents. First Information Reports (FIRs) were filed against the respective MeeSeva centres by registrars of all circle offices. Additionally, the civic body terminated 16 health assistants and 15 outsourced employees who were involved in the issuance of fraudulent certificates. An investigation into 74 birth certificates by GHMC revealed that four home births had not occurred. Registrars of the respective circles were instructed to file criminal cases against the parents, neighbours, advocates, and others involved. A thorough enquiry also found that 65 birth certificates and 8 death certificates had been fraudulently issued at a hospital. Despite various measures, the problem of fake certificates continues. Officials believe that implementing the CRS could help curb such irregularities. The software assigns a unique identification number to every birth and death across the country. Hospitals can submit their registers online, with information only being recorded upon authorisation by the registrar. The system also enables linking Aadhaar with the National Population Register and allows integration of UID numbers for birth certificate modifications. CRS software receives regular updates in line with govt regulations.
