The Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 does not specify what should be the contents of the birth certificate. The Act itself is silent in respect of 15 years time limitation. However, there may have some bar at different Corporations or Municipality's own rules. Verify yourself with your local Authority.

Thanks for thr reply.

I am from Indore, MadhyaPradesh and at Indore Municipal Corp. they refused to add the name in Birth Certificate.

Is there any other way to get my name added into my Birth Certificate?

you can file a suit before the munsif court for mandatory injunction directing the corporation to include the particulars in the birth certificate

The normal process is getting an affidavit done and notarizes it properly. It has to be done through the health dept. and they may ask for a judges verdict for the statement and content to be true.

You should get it done and submit with a prescribed fee to the health dept. or any othere governmental dept in-charge with birth and death related issues, such as corporation office, etc. With a letter of what you want to get changed or added.
