The Parliament passed the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Parliament passed the Registration of Births and Deaths (Amendment) Bill, 2026, amid a wider logjam that has repeatedly disrupted the Monsoon Session. The Rajya Sabha cleared the legislation on Tuesday by voice vote days after the Lok Sabha passed it on July 31 amid opposition protests without a debate.Both Houses witnessed repeated adjournments during the session, with several Bills being passed amid disruptions. The Monsoon Session began on July 20 and is scheduled to conclude on August 13.The new legislation focuses on a seemingly routine but important part of government records like registering births and deaths. A birth certificate records a person’s entry into the official system, while a death certificate formally records their departure.Together, these documents help establish identity, maintain public records and provide proof for a range of legal and administrative purposes. The amendment seeks to tighten the process when such events are reported long after they occur.What does the Bill change?Under the existing system, delayed registration already requires additional verification. If information about a birth or death is submitted after one year but within two years, the amended law will require an order from a district magistrate, sub-divisional magistrate or an executive magistrate authorised by the district magistrate.For cases reported more than two years after the event, the threshold becomes higher. The registration will require an order from a judicial magistrate of the First Class having jurisdiction over the place where the birth or death occurred.The magistrate will have to verify the correctness of the information before permitting registration. A prescribed fee will also have to be paid, according to a document released by the government.The amendment also updates the reference to an “Executive Magistrate” in the 1969 law to align it with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which replaced the earlier Code of Criminal Procedure.The government says the primary objective is to ensure that births and deaths are registered promptly and that delayed registrations are subjected to stronger scrutiny.The Registration of Births and Deaths Act makes registration mandatory. According to the government’s statement of objects and reasons, birth and death certificates provide legal identity and can be used as evidence of a person’s birth or death.The government argues that the integrity of these records is particularly important because birth certificates can be used for several official purposes, including processes involving identity and citizenship-related documentation.Tighter scrutiny of delayed registrations, it says, can help prevent fraudulent or questionable entries and improve the reliability of official records.BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said, “The objective is straightforward: encourage timely registration, prevent fraudulent or dubious entries, and preserve the credibility of birth and death certificates, the foundational documents that establish a person’s legal identity.”The government has also pointed to a significant rise in registration rates over the past decade.Union minister of state for home Nityanand Rai said birth registration increased from 86.6% in 2014 to 99.1% in 2024, while death registration rose from 72.5% to 99.4% during the same period. He also said around 3.5 lakh registration centres have been established across the country.The government’s argument is that as registration coverage approaches universal levels, the focus must increasingly be on ensuring that the remaining delayed or questionable cases are properly verified.What is the significance of a birth certificate?A birth certificate is often the first formal document linking an individual to the state. It records details such as a person’s date and place of birth and can be required for a range of official purposes, including education, employment, passports and other government documentation.The government has also highlighted the role of birth records in establishing identity and in processes where proof of birth or citizenship-related documentation is required.That makes the accuracy of the registration system important beyond population statistics.A fraudulent birth certificate, for instance, could potentially affect records across several government systems. Similarly, failure to register deaths can leave outdated information in official databases.The government has also linked accurate death registration with keeping records, including electoral rolls, updated.What happened in the Parliament?The Lok Sabha passed the Bill on July 31 by voice vote amid opposition protests. Several opposition MPs entered the Well of the House demanding the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah, and the legislation was cleared without a debate.Parliamentary affairs minister Kiren Rijiju criticised the opposition for not participating in the proceedings and said the government wanted a discussion on the “important Bill”.“It is unfortunate. Please do not repeat this in the future. People who sent you to Parliament will seek answers from you,” Rijiju said, urging MPs to participate in debates rather than disrupt proceedings.The legislation was passed amid continued sloganeering, with the opposition MPs demanding the presence of Union home minister Amit Shah and his response on the “police action” against student protesters on July 20 at Jantar Mantar.The Rajya Sabha later took up the Bill amid similar disruptions.Moving the Bill in the Rajya Sabha, Rai said the government wanted every birth and death to be properly recorded. He said, “The country wants that anyone born in the country, it is important that he or she is registered. Anyone who has died, cannot continue to remain in the voter lists to benefit some parties.”Rai also linked the legislation to concerns over people who have died continuing to appear on electoral rolls.The country now wants to get rid of ghosts. There are govts in some states that look for an opportunity and welcome those (who were not born in India) and register their births who are not eligible to be registered here. Now, we will not allow this to happen.Union minister of state for home Nityanand RaiHe also cited the rise in registration rates as evidence of the government’s efforts to improve the system.Some NDA members supported the legislation. YSRCP member M R Reddy, AIADMK’s M Thambidurai and BRS member Ravi Chandra Vaddiraju backed the Bill. BJP member Biswajit Sinha, meanwhile, accused the Congress of opposing the legislation because it did not want proper registration of births and deaths.Sinha also referred to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in West Bengal, claiming that people who had died years earlier remained on voter lists.He alleged that some parties were helping illegal Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators obtain birth registrations and voter identities, and said the proposed changes would help prevent such practices.Leader of opposition Mallikarjun Kharge said, “The prime minister and the home minister should come. we want discussion.”Despite the protests, the Bill was taken up for consideration and passage.Why did the opposition sayOpposition members did not reject the need for accurate birth and death records but questioned the practical implications of requiring a Judicial Magistrate of the First Class to approve registrations delayed by more than two years.UPPL member Pramod Boro said the objective of the Bill was important but questioned whether an administrative responsibility should be shifted to the judiciary.He warned that the provision could add to the workload of courts, increase costs and make registration more difficult for migrants, homeless people, poor families and those living in remote areas.BJD member Santrupt Misra also questioned why registrations are delayed in the first place. He suggested that the government should identify the reasons behind late registration and consider dedicated registration offices, particularly in tribal areas, to improve access.CPI(M) member V Sivadasan supported the need for proper registration but said the government should also focus on the circumstances surrounding deaths, including malnutrition and student deaths.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesThe passage came amid a wider logjam in the Monsoon Session, with repeated adjournments in both Houses and several Bills being cleared amid disruptions.With Parliament having passed the Bill, the legislation will now go through the remaining constitutional process before coming into force.

![Rahul Gandhi addresses the gathering during the ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ program, in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday described India’s youth as the country’s biggest strength, but said a lack of jobs, expensive education, paper leaks, poor access to credit and the growing use of AI were holding them back.Speaking at the ‘Chhatron Ki Goonj’ programme at KP Ground in Prayagraj, Rahul told the gathering, “You are power and pride of India; when I say this, I talk about every Indian citizen.” He said he wanted to speak about “dard (pain), data, and daulat (wealth)”, framing his address around the problems facing young Indians and the economic resources he believes should belong to them.Rahul said India’s nearly 40 crore young people were its “greatest strength”, adding that while there was much discussion about America, China and Russia, “India’s youth [are] unparalleled.” He argued that the country’s future would depend on the potential of its young population and the data they generate.He said artificial intelligence was also built on people’s data and argued that this data should be treated as an asset belonging to Indians. Rahul criticised the growing use of AI in discussions about employment, saying technological changes could further threaten jobs unless young people benefited from the economy being built around their data.Rahul also spoke about his connection to Prayagraj, describing the city as his family’s home and recalling its past as an important educational centre. He said Allahabad University had once been among the country’s best universities.Rahul said young Indians were being trapped in a “chakravyuh”, with education becoming increasingly expensive while degrees often failed to translate into jobs.“Today, education certificates have no meaning in India because they cannot give you job,” he said, arguing that students could spend years and large amounts of money on education without finding meaningful employment.Rahul said the problems extended across several routes into the workforce. “All doors of employment are closed in India,” he said, pointing to a decline in manufacturing, difficulties in securing loans, government-exam paper leaks and AI-driven job losses.“Decline in manufacturing, hard-to-come-by loans, paper leaks, AI replacing jobs – all this is hurting India’s youth,” Rahul said.He blamed demonetisation and GST for hurting small industries, alleged that banks were failing to provide adequate credit to small and medium businesses, and criticised the privatisation of public-sector companies. He also argued that AI could further reduce corporate employment while young Indians were increasingly pushed towards gig work.Rahul framed these problems as part of what he called the broader “system”, arguing that economic and political power had become concentrated among a small number of people. He linked this to his criticism of large corporations, the government and the RSS, alleging that they exercised disproportionate influence over India’s institutions.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesRahul said recent student protests showed that young Indians were beginning to challenge the system. “Youths lit a light in darkness, and in doing so, changed the country,” he said.He urged young people to confront their fears without resorting to hatred or violence. “You cannot hate or be violent,” Rahul said, adding, “We will never resort to hatred or violence; will change the system with love and affection.”Get the latest India News and Live updates.
