Sub:- Registration of Birth & Death Act, 1969- Correction of entry in the Birth & Death Registers -Regarding.
Requests are being received from certain Registers of Births and Deaths for sanction to effect' corrections in the Birth and Death Registers under Section 15 of the Registration of Birth & Death Act, 1969. Some Registrars, after effecting corrections under the said section request the Chief Registrar to ratify their actions for having done so.
Section 15 of the Registration of Births & Deaths Act, 1969 gives full powers to the Registrars to effect corrections. No approval or sanction of higher authorities is contemplated. But the Registrars have to bear in mind that change is different from error. While an error can be corrected, a change either in religion or in name cannot be incorporated under the Act. Therefore a change in name made subsequently need not be incorporated in the place of original entry. These original documents have legal value and cannot be changed. If a person proposes to change his name, there are other legal procedures to be adopted by him for the purpose. Also while a change in religion is made, similar procedure should be adopted.
The District registrars are requested to bring the contents of this communication among the Executive Officers/Registrars of Panchayats in their respective jurisdiction. (CIRCULAR- J.2101, RBDI42836/74)
