Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Cabinet on Friday approved the framing of the Odisha Registration of Birth and Death (Amendment) Rules, 2025 to implement the provisions of the Registration of Birth and Death (Amendment) Act, 2023 enacted by the Government of India.

The decision aims to streamline the process of registration and certification of births and deaths across the State in line with national standards introduced by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India.

Currently, registrations in Odisha are governed under the Odisha Registration of Birth and Death Rules, 2001, which were framed based on the Registration of Birth and Death Act, 1969. The newly framed 2025 Rules will replace these existing provisions to align State-level procedures with the latest central amendments.
