Copy of orders No. B1-44300/77/dated 1.9.1977 from the Director of Panchayats is extracted bellow for the information of all Concerned.
Sub:- Registration of Births and Deaths - Appointment of sub Registrars - Permissive sanction - Orders regarding.
With the introduction of Common Service to the employees of Panchayats they are subject to frequent transfers. As a result a Sub-Registrar appointed for a Panchayat when transferred will have to obtain fresh sanction from Chief Registrar to work as Sub-Registrars in his new station. So also sanction will have to be obtained for the appointment of a substitute as Sub-registrar. Obtaining individual sanction for each and every case therefore causes unnecessary delay causing inconvenience to the public.
In the circumstances sanction is accorded to all Registrars of births and deaths in Panchayats for appointing either the Manager or the Head Clerk of the respective Panchayats as Sub-Registrar under Section 7(5) of the Registration of Births and Deaths Act 1969 assigning all the powers wested with the Registrars except the powers under Section 15, 17.24, and 25 of the said Act and the rules thereunder subject to the control, supervision and restriction imposed on him by the Registrar of Births and Deaths in the Panchayat.

Recording the exact date of event in the birth and death registers is an important factor in the registration of vital events. On certain occasions, the registrar feels confusion to record the exact date of event, especially in the case of dead bodies found deserted in public places. Recently in a particular case the Medical Officer has stated in his postmortem certificate that the death might have occurred between 13-7-1978 to 20-7-1978. But the Registrar could not record the exact date of event in the case and so he requested for clarification. The clarification received from Registrar General of India on the subject is as follows:-
