It will also check misuse through greater scrutiny.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>Every birth and death must be registered with the local registrar within 21 days through the digital Civil Registration System (CRS). If reported after 30 days but within one year, registration is allowed only with the written permission of the district registrar or another designated authority, on payment of the prescribed fee and submission of a self-attested document.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Under Section 13(3), delays beyond one year can currently be authorised by a district magistrate, SDM or executive magistrate with jurisdiction. The proposed amendment would retain this arrangement for delays of up to two years.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
