How Can i Get Death Certificate in INDIA ? Please see details?

I don't know but I'm sure it involves making one or more bribes.

This question can be reduced simply as: :"I want to obtain death certificate of X, who passed away 12 years ago. I know none at the place of death. what to do? Matter urgent." If you know the date of death, you can check in the register of deaths at the municipality or corporation. If death occurred in a village, then check the register of deaths both at the village panchayat and Tahsildar's office. If you know only year of death, search would take a little longer. If officials' cooperation can be 'secured' even in one day it can be checked. If the death is found recorded, then you have to apply for a death certificate in as many copies as needed, by paying the fee prescribed. Even this can be done the same day, if cooperation is there. In this case, remember, place of death is important and all other details are irrelevant for the purpose of death certificate. If the death is not recorded, then the procedure is lengthy and may take months. First you have to apply to the Municipality/Corporation/Panchayat/tahsi… of Taluk office. The authority will decline your application on grounds of no record being available. You have to file a suit against the authority, in the jurisdictional civil court, for direction to the authority, to register the death and to issue certificate thereafter upon application. You have to engage a lawyer and lead evidence of one or two witnesses, as advised by the lawyer, to prove the fact of death of the person, at the particular place and on the particular day. Thereafter, the court would issue orders as prayed for. You have to apply for certified copy of the order (better 2 copies), attach one with your application to the authority concerned, to register the death. Upon registration, you can file your application and paying the fee prescribed, can obtain as many copies of death certificate, as you need. Though the procedure detailed appears cumbersome, with lawyer's diligence, it can be accomplished in 5months to a year, depending upon the court's workload. Please tell your friends and relatives of the pitfalls of non registration of deaths. Worse is the case of non-registration of births, which would pose a big problem while applying for Visas. Additional advice: It appears that you are facing some criminal proceedings. In these, the fact of death of the person, is an important issue to be proved. Limited time is granted to you. Under these circumstances, go personally to the place of death and find out whether the death is registered or not. Apply for issue of death certificate, which will be allowed or declined as the case may be. On the next date of hearing, present the letter of declination to the court and file an application seeking police enquiry and report to court on the issue of death, stating that your further efforts of filing civil suit and aftermath may take months and thus in order to avoid delay in court proceedings, a police enquiry may be ordered. Your lawyer will advise you in detail on this.

find out your good relatives and get the oral information from them and confirm if necessary they ready to express the fact anywhere, thenyou present the same person in the court in question as withness and search other people who know the death matter and go to courte and produce the withness. Then problem will solve.
