Certificate frauds
Rumours are being spread among people regarding the distribution of birth and death certificates through many public channels. Private organizations have created other websites for birth and death certificate processing. These certificates are provided by collecting payment or fees from the general public. Fraudulent certificates are being issued from CRSORGIGOOVI.IN, CRSRGIIN, BIRTHDEATHONLINE.COM.
The registrar has been informed about putting up notice boards in the facade so that the citizens do not use these websites."Shingare further added, "The district health officer and the district registrar should mention the name of the city and village in which the birth took place in the jail or prison instead of mentioning the place of birth as prison or jail in the birth register of boys and girls born in the jail."
