Aadhaar Not Needed for Registration of Births and Deaths, Clarifies Home Ministry

-Moneylife.in

Contrary to claims of several government departments and local bodies, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) clarified that for registration of births and deaths, Aadhaar is not required as proof of identity.  This was confirmed by the ministry, while replying to an application filed under the Right to Information (RTI) Act.

The reply cites a circular (F. No1/12/2018-VS (CRS)/385-386) issued by the MHA on 3 April 2019. The circular states: "...the registration of births and deaths in the country is being done under the provisions of registration of births and deaths (RBD) Act, 1969 and there is no provision in the RBD Act, which permits the use of Aadhaar for establishing the identity of an individual for the purpose of registration of birth and death. There being no law framed for such use of Aadhaar, section 57 (of Aadhaar Act) is not attracted, therefore, the requirement of Aadhaar for registration of births and deaths are not mandatory."
