Union health ministry asserts that Civil Registration System figures should be considered 'authentic'

A table on “estimated deaths” is missing from India’s annual birth-and-death report for 2020.

The absence has fuelled fresh questions about how the Union health ministry calculated that authorities had registered 99.9 per cent of the country’s deaths in 2020, the Covid-19 outbreak’s first year.

A 99.9 per cent registration level would mean the country had recorded almost all the deaths that had occurred, missing at the most roughly 8,100 deaths.

But a World Health Organisation (WHO) exercise to measure global excess deaths from all causes during 2020 and 2021 has indicated that India accounted for 4.7 million of the 14.9 million excess deaths worldwide.

The Narendra Modi government disputes the WHO estimate. On the Covid-19 toll, the official cumulative Indian figure for 2020 and 2021 is 481,000 (less than half a million). The latest official Covid-19 toll figure (till Sunday) is around 524,000 (5.24 lakh).
