Now, online auto approval for name addition in birth certificate up to 4 years after childbirth: MCD
New Delhi (PTI): The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has announced that the name of a child can be added to the birth certificate online up to four years after birth and it will be approved automatically.
Earlier, the online process took seven to 10 days, a senior official said on Tuesday.
"Now, parents or guardians can get names added to birth certificates of children online up to four years after their birth, and the process will be approved automatically," he said.
Many parents approached the civic body saying they needed to submit documents in schools for admission of their children and due to longer waiting time for approval from the civic authorities, they were facing hassles, the official said.
"The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has taken an important step for the convenience of citizens and simplification of the system. In order to empower citizens in the process of registration of birth, by providing auto approval for online name addition of a child, up to four years after childbirth," the MCD said in a statement.
According to the Registration of Births and Deaths Act 1949, if the "birth of any child has been registered without a name, the parent or guardian of such a child shall within the prescribed period give information regarding the name of the child to the registrar either orally or in writing and thereupon the registrar shall enter such name in the register and initial and date of the entry," it said.
"The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is making all efforts to provide better and quality civic amenities to citizens by utilising its available resources. The MCD is committed to make the system simple and transparent in public interest so that there is no unnecessary delay for basic civic amenities and citizens do not have to rush off the corporation offices," it added.

Andhra: Family receives dead body in box with Rs 1.3 crore demand
Yendagandi (Andhra Pradesh) (PTI): The dead body of a 45-year-old unidentified man was delivered to a family here in West Godavari district in a box with a demand for over Rs one crore claiming it to be the compounded amount of a loan taken years ago, police said on Friday.
The box was delivered at the under construction house of the family on Thursday night.
District superintendent of police Adnan Nayeem Asmi said the box was delivered to the family of four with a letter demanding them to pay up Rs 1.35 crore.
"Last night the body reached this place (under construction house)," Asmi told PTI, adding police were probing the case to unearth further details.
According to police sources, the box was delivered to Sagi Tulasi's under construction home at Yendagandi village in Undi mandal in an autorickshaw.
Incidentally, Tulasi's husband went missing more than 10 years ago and never returned home, prompting her to live with her parents
Asmi said Tulasi lived with her parents until her younger sister arrived and later she moved to a rented accommodation.
Later, Tulasi started constructing a house about one km away from her parents' home and started receiving help from a philanthropist, who had sent her high quality tiles and paints in September.
According to the police, the unidentified philanthropist told Tulasi that as they both belonged to the same caste and that she was a 'widow', he was helping her.
Similarly, a message was sent to Tulasi on Thursday that she would receive some electrical goods such as motors and other articles and the box was delivered, with the body in it, police said.
Upon discovering the corpse, Tulasi's family informed the police. Along with the body, they also found a letter which claimed that Tulasi's husband had taken a loan of Rs 3 lakh back in 2008, which has now compounded to Rs 1.35 crore.
"'So, if you don't want anything bad to happen, you should pay up", police said quoting from the letter, adding the family does not have such financial muscle. A property dispute angle was also being suspected.
"We are checking up on all the missing people in the last three to four days. After post mortem (of the body) we will get more clarity," said the SP.
Meanwhile, Asmi noted that the younger son-in-law of the family has been missing since yesterday.
