1. Getting death certificate of a person who dies 20 years ago is no more possible from the local Municipality.

2. However now to fulfill the need of his death certificate you can make an affidavit done from the Magistrate on this account.

3. Another option is to make application in the local Magistrate court under Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969.

For issue of a death certificate, first the death is required to be registered.

In India, it is mandatory under the law i.e. Registration of Birth & Deaths Act, 1969 to register every death with the concerned State/UT Government within 21 days of its occurrence.

A death can be reported and registered by the head of the family, in case it occurs in a house; by the medical in-charge if it occurs in a hospital; by the jail in-charge if it occurs in a jail; and by the headman of the village or the in-charge of the local police station in case the body is found deserted in that area.

The death has to be registered with the concerned local authorities within 21 days of its occurrence, by filling up the form prescribed by the Registrar.

If a death is not registered within 21 days of its occurrence, permission from the Registrar/Area Magistrate, along with the fee prescribed in case of late registration, is required.

Removing the person is not possible because he got the right by way of succession after the death of his father. Registration of births and deaths is carried out according to the Registration of Birth and Deaths Act, 1969. According to the Act, if a birth or death occurs in a hospital, it is mandatory for hospital authorities to record the details of the birth or death and inform the Registrar of Births and Deaths. In Bengaluru, a Medical Officer, Health (MOH), BBMP, is the Registrar. The function is part of the Department of Statistics under the authority of the Joint Director, Statistics.

If a death occurs at a hospital, a relative should fill Form 2, which the hospital will then send to the BBMP office. The hospital will give the Cause of Death Certificate free-of-cost as soon as the death occurs. The MOH will provide the death certificate, which can then be collected at a specified date.

If death occurs at home, Form 2 can be filled later at the BBMP zonal office. Applicants have to submit documents including the Cause of Death and cremation certificates, after which the registrar conducts an inquiry and the certificate is issued.

Any birth or death which has not been registered within one year of its occurrence, shall be registered only on an order of a Magistrate of the first class or a Presidency Magistrate under section 13(3) and on payment of a late fee of rupees ten.

Apply to the municipal authority to get the death certificate stating the name of your Uncle & date of death.

in your case obtain a negative certificate which state that your uncle death is not registered in there record & hence no death certificate can be given. After obtaining the above mentioned certificate, you have to apply in the court of Judicial Magistrate First Class against the Municipal Authority & make prayer to registered your uncles death in their register.

You have to submit proofs or evidence along with your application. The Court will record your deposition as well as deposition of concerned officer of Municipal Authority & thereafter pass suitable order in your favour. After the order from the court the Municipal Authority will register your uncles death n there register & you have to pay the late fees & there after you will get your death Certificate.

After obtaining non availability certificate from municipality about the death records, you can file a Petition before jurisdictional magistrate court seeking direction to the municipal commissioner to register the death and issue certificate accordingly.

His name cannot be removed from the property, his legal heirs shall be entitled to inherit his share in the property.
