In my view, if a person is missed, after 7 years of the period, the Police where you filed the complaint issue a certificate stating that the whereabouts of the missing person are not known. After that, you have to apply to the court declaring that the missing person is dead. But either the local bodies or Revenue authorities cannot issue a death certificate.

Consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for filing a suit for declaration of civil death under Section 34 of Specific Relief Act, 1963, which is to be proved in terms of Section 107 and 108 of Indian Evidence Act, 1872
