* **Rule 23 Amendment:** In sub-rule (2), "sixty days" is replaced with "thirty days."
**Impact Analysis**
**Health and Family Welfare Department Stakeholders:**
* **Impact:** Parents and guardians who registered births before the 2000 rules, but did not provide a child's name within the initial timeframe, now have an additional five years to do so. This provides more opportunity to add child names post birth.
* **Action Required:** If applicable, provide the child's name to the Registrar within five years.
**Labour and Employment Department Stakeholders:**
* **Impact:** Registration officers now have a shorter timeframe to process and issue registration certificates, which may create additional pressure. Businesses subject to the Contract Labour Act also see a reduced timeframe.
* **Action Required:** Registration officers must ensure that the certificate of registration under sub-section (2) of Section 7 in Form II is issued within 30 days. All stakeholders must comply with the amendments to ensure compliance.
