&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Civil Registration System figures are closest to the truth and should be considered authentic, say officials&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union health ministry&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/NFHS-5_INDIA_REPORT.pdf&quot;&gt;National Family Health Survey 2019-21&lt;/a&gt; has suggested that India&amp;rsquo;s births-and-deaths recording system registered only 71 per cent of the country&amp;rsquo;s deaths over the preceding three years, significantly lower than the 99.9 per cent cited by the ministry for 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The gap between the two numbers and the exceedingly high proportion of the registered deaths claimed for 2020 has puzzled many health experts, one of whom said a 99.9 per cent registration level would be &amp;ldquo;wonderful, but would need verification&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The high percentage for 2020, the experts said, is also surprising because 12 states had reported staff shortages and other challenges that would be expected to contribute to under-registration of deaths by the Civil Registration System (CRS), the agency that documents births and deaths.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The health ministry had earlier this week accused the World Health Organisation of ignoring &amp;ldquo;authentic data&amp;rdquo; from the CRS statistics report for 2020 and using extrapolation and modelling instead to estimate excess deaths in India over the past two pandemic-hit years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The WHO has estimated 4.7 million excess deaths in India during 2020 and 2021, 9.8 times the country&amp;rsquo;s official Covid-19 death toll of 481,000 over those years. The CRS recorded an excess of only 474,000 deaths during 2020 over the previous year&amp;rsquo;s count.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Indian health officials have asserted that the CRS figure is closest to the truth and should be taken as authentic data. The authenticity claim hinges on the registration level which, according to the health ministry, increased from 84 per cent in 2018 to 92 per cent in 2019 and 99.9 per cent in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But the NFHS 2019-21, based on a sample of over 636,000 households, has noted a nationwide death registration level of 71 per cent, with the figure below 80 per cent in 19 states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Civil Registration System figures are closest to the truth and should be considered authentic, say officials&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union health ministry&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/NFHS-5_INDIA_REPORT.pdf&quot;&gt;National Family Health Survey 2019-21&lt;/a&gt; has suggested that India&amp;rsquo;s births-and-deaths recording system registered only 71 per cent of the country&amp;rsquo;s deaths over the preceding three years, significantly lower than the 99.9 per cent cited by the ministry for 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The gap between the two numbers and the exceedingly high proportion of the registered deaths claimed for 2020 has puzzled many health experts, one of whom said a 99.9 per cent registration level would be &amp;ldquo;wonderful, but would need verification&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The high percentage for 2020, the experts said, is also surprising because 12 states had reported staff shortages and other challenges that would be expected to contribute to under-registration of deaths by the Civil Registration System (CRS), the agency that documents births and deaths.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The health ministry had earlier this week accused the World Health Organisation of ignoring &amp;ldquo;authentic data&amp;rdquo; from the CRS statistics report for 2020 and using extrapolation and modelling instead to estimate excess deaths in India over the past two pandemic-hit years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The WHO has estimated 4.7 million excess deaths in India during 2020 and 2021, 9.8 times the country&amp;rsquo;s official Covid-19 death toll of 481,000 over those years. The CRS recorded an excess of only 474,000 deaths during 2020 over the previous year&amp;rsquo;s count.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The high percentage for 2020, the experts said, is also surprising because 12 states had reported staff shortages and other challenges that would be expected to contribute to under-registration of deaths by the Civil Registration System (CRS), the agency that documents births and deaths.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The health ministry had earlier this week accused the World Health Organisation of ignoring &amp;ldquo;authentic data&amp;rdquo; from the CRS statistics report for 2020 and using extrapolation and modelling instead to estimate excess deaths in India over the past two pandemic-hit years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The WHO has estimated 4.7 million excess deaths in India during 2020 and 2021, 9.8 times the country&amp;rsquo;s official Covid-19 death toll of 481,000 over those years. The CRS recorded an excess of only 474,000 deaths during 2020 over the previous year&amp;rsquo;s count.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Indian health officials have asserted that the CRS figure is closest to the truth and should be taken as authentic data. The authenticity claim hinges on the registration level which, according to the health ministry, increased from 84 per cent in 2018 to 92 per cent in 2019 and 99.9 per cent in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But the NFHS 2019-21, based on a sample of over 636,000 households, has noted a nationwide death registration level of 71 per cent, with the figure below 80 per cent in 19 states.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The health ministry had earlier this week accused the World Health Organisation of ignoring &amp;ldquo;authentic data&amp;rdquo; from the CRS statistics report for 2020 and using extrapolation and modelling instead to estimate excess deaths in India over the past two pandemic-hit years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The WHO has estimated 4.7 million excess deaths in India during 2020 and 2021, 9.8 times the country&amp;rsquo;s official Covid-19 death toll of 481,000 over those years. The CRS recorded an excess of only 474,000 deaths during 2020 over the previous year&amp;rsquo;s count.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Indian health officials have asserted that the CRS figure is closest to the truth and should be taken as authentic data. The authenticity claim hinges on the registration level which, according to the health ministry, increased from 84 per cent in 2018 to 92 per cent in 2019 and 99.9 per cent in 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But the NFHS 2019-21, based on a sample of over 636,000 households, has noted a nationwide death registration level of 71 per cent, with the figure below 80 per cent in 19 states.&lt;/p&gt;

Union health ministry’s survey puts question mark on death data -GS Mudur

-The Telegraph Civil Registration System figures are closest to the truth and should be considered authentic, say officials The Union health ministry’s National Family Health Survey 2019-21 has suggested that India’s births-and-deaths recording system registered only 71 per cent of the country’s deaths over the preceding three years, significantly lower than the 99.9 per cent cited by the ministry for 2020. The gap between the two numbers and the exceedingly high proportion of the registered deaths claimed for 2020 has puzzled many health experts, one of whom said a 99.9 per cent registration level would be “wonderful, but would need verification”. The high percentage for 2020, the experts said, is also surprising because 12 states had reported staff shortages and other challenges that would be expected to contribute to under-registration of deaths by the Civil Registration System (CRS), the agency that documents births and deaths. The health ministry had earlier this week accused the World Health Organisation of ignoring “authentic data” from the CRS statistics report for 2020 and using extrapolation and modelling instead to estimate excess deaths in India over the past two pandemic-hit years. The WHO has estimated 4.7 million excess deaths in India during 2020 and 2021, 9.8 times the country’s official Covid-19 death toll of 481,000 over those years. The CRS recorded an excess of only 474,000 deaths during 2020 over the previous year’s count. Indian health officials have asserted that the CRS figure is closest to the truth and should be taken as authentic data. The authenticity claim hinges on the registration level which, according to the health ministry, increased from 84 per cent in 2018 to 92 per cent in 2019 and 99.9 per cent in 2020. But the NFHS 2019-21, based on a sample of over 636,000 households, has noted a nationwide death registration level of 71 per cent, with the figure below 80 per cent in 19 states.
