For pensioners to receive their pensions promptly, it is imperative that they submit their life certificate. All pensioners are required to submit their life certificates by November 30th.
Failure to do so may lead to complications in receiving pensions. The same deadline applies to Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) pensioners.
Advantages of the Digital Life Certificate
The government’s Digital Life Certificate Scheme for pensioners aims to eliminate the need for physical visits to banks for life certificate submission.
With this scheme, pensioners can conveniently submit their life certificates from the comfort of their homes.
Using their Aadhaar number and biometrics, pensioners can easily submit their Digital Life Certificate.
Additionally, face authentication technology allows any citizen to submit the certificate using an Android smartphone or at a bank branch.
Understanding the Digital Life Certificate
The biometrics-enabled digital service for pensioners is known as Jeevan Pramaan.
This service can be utilized by pensioners from Central, State, or any other government agency.
Frequency of Life Certificate Submission
A life certificate is valid for one year, and pensioners must renew it annually.
Essentially, the life certificate serves as proof of the pensioner’s continued existence.
How to Submit the Digital Life Certificate
Pensioners have six different methods for submitting their life certificates.
They can use the Digital Life Certificate digital service with biometrics. Alternatively, certificates can be submitted at their bank or post office.
