History

The Civil Registration System (CRS) in India has a long story dating back to middle of 19th century. A central Births1974, Deaths, and Marriages registration bill was passed in 1886 to allow consensual registrations across British India. The Registration of Births and Deaths Act (RBD) was passed in 1969 after independence to improve consistency and comparability in the recording of births and deaths throughout the nation.[4]
