Under the Registration of Births & Deaths Act, 1969 it is obligatory to register every death within the concerned State/UT Government within 21 days of its occurrence. The Government thus has provided for a well-defined system for registration of Death, with the Registrar General, India, at the center and the Chief Registrars in States, running through district registrars in the village and town.

One has to apply for the death certificate within 21 days of the occurrence of death. If a death is not registered within 21 days of its occurrence, permission has to be taken from the Registrar or SDM, and a nominal penalty has to be paid. A Death Certificate is then issued after proper authentication.
If death is reported after 21 days but within 30 days of its incidence, then it can be registered on payment of Rs 2 as a late fee.
If death is reported after one month but within one year of its incidence, then it can be registered only with the written permission of the registrar on payment of Rs 5.
If death is reported after one year of its incidence, then it can be registered only via an order made by the area magistrate i.e. SDM or the first-class magistrate or a presidency magistrate, and on payment of Rs 10 as a late fee.
Deaths shall only be registered at the place of occurrence. For instance, if an event that has taken place in Pune shall be registered with the concerned local registrar in Pune, within whose jurisdiction that incident has occurred. That event cannot be registered in Mumbai.
