Death / birth has to be registered at the place where the death / birth occurred.
In your case the death occurred at Ahmedabad.
Therefore, you have to apply for and obtain the death certificate (on the basis of the Certificate issued by the Doctor who pronounced the death of the person) at Ahmedabad. The same has to be obtained within a prescribed period - normally 21 days etc.
In case there is any delay, the same has to be explained through an Affidavit.
Therefore, approach Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation for this purpose.

In India, it is mandatory under the law (as per the Registration of Births & Deaths Act, 1969 (External website that opens in a new window)) to register every death with the concerned State/UT Government within 21 days of its occurrence.
To apply for a Death Certificate, you must first register the death. 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. Death Certificate is then issued after proper verification.
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.
