November is an important month for pensioners because they must submit their life certificate by November 30th every year.
This certificate confirms that the pensioner is alive and eligible to continue receiving their pension.
If a pensioner fails to submit the certificate on time, their pension may be temporarily suspended. Once the certificate is submitted, the pension payments resume as usual.
What is a Digital Life Certificate (DLC)?
The Digital Life Certificate (DLC), also known as Jeevan Pramaan, is an Aadhaar-based biometric certificate that serves as proof that the pensioner is alive.
Earlier, pensioners had to visit a bank or post office in person to submit their certificate.
To make this process easier, the government introduced the Jeevan Pramaan system, allowing pensioners to submit their life certificate online through face authentication, without any physical visits.
Why Submitting a Life Certificate is Necessary
Every pensioner must submit a life certificate once a year in November to keep their pension active.
Failure to do so can lead to suspension of pension payments until the certificate is submitted.
Submit Your Certificate Using Face Authentication
The government has now made the process even simpler. Pensioners can easily submit their digital life certificate using their smartphone.
By scanning their face through the official app, they can complete the authentication process from home, without visiting a bank or cyber café.
