birth certificate will be issued by concern municipal department which comes in the area of the hospital..you will have to collect registration receipt from the hospital and give it in the municipal department.there is no way the hospital can refuse to give you registration receipt as the baby has been delivered in that hospital and DAMA has nothing to do with .

The birth certificate in Mumbai can be applied by visiting nearest office of Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which is also the birth certificate issuing authority in Mumbai.

You need to first register the name of child by filling the form that can get from the office by paying Rs 5/-. The cost can range from time to time.

After getting registered, the birth certificate application form can be taken from hospital or from Municipal Corporation office.

The birth certificate will have a stamp of Municipal officer if applied from such authority or doctor name and hospital stamp if applied through hospital.

To apply for a Birth Certificate, you should first register the birth. The birth has to be registered with the concerned local authorities within 21 days of its occurrence, by filling up the form prescribed by the Registrar. Birth Certificate is then issued after verification with the actual records of the concerned hospital.

In case the birth has not been registered within the specified time of its occurrence, the certificate is issued after due police verification ordered by the revenue authorities.
