Aadhaar number will be now required for the purpose of establishing the identity of the deceased for death registration from 1st October this year.
In a notification, Registrar General of India(RGI) said, the use of Aadhaar for the applicants of Death Certificate will result in ensuring accuracy of the details provided by the relatives and dependents.
