STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
At present only a few States like Assam, Madras, Kerala and West Bengal have separate legislation in regard to registration of births and deaths, while others have only enabling provisions in this behalf in the Municipal Act, Panchayat Act, Chowkidar Manual or Land Revenue Manual so that the matter is governed by executive orders or bye-laws setting out legal registration procedure . Such a situation, by its very nature, leads to diversity in practices and inefficiency of performance . Various national committees and experts, who gave attention to the problem, have strongly recommended the need for a Central legislation to regulate registration of births and deaths in the country.
