Digital Life Certificate: The government has launched the Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 4.0 to enable pensioners across the country to easily submit their life certificates from the comfort of their homes. This facility has brought relief, especially to elderly and disabled pensioners. Pensioners will no longer need to stand in queues or visit banks or offices.
The campaign aims to provide this digital facility to over 20 million pensioners. The government says that this campaign is being implemented in over 2,000 cities and towns across the country to ensure digital empowerment reaches every pensioner.
Dr. Jitendra Singh Launches Nationwide Campaign
Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh will attend the SBI Mega Camp being held at the NDMC Convention Center in New Delhi on Monday. He will interact with pensioners who are submitting digital life certificates through face authentication. Several agencies, including the State Bank of India (SBI), India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), UIDAI, and NIC, are participating in the program.
Dr. Jitendra Singh explained that this campaign is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India vision, which aims to simplify the pension process for senior citizens in the country.
No need to stand in long bank queues anymore
Previously, pensioners had to visit a bank or government office every year to submit a physical life certificate. But now the government has completely digitized it. Now, you can do this in just a few minutes using the Jeevan Pramaan App from your mobile phone or laptop.
Simply download the app, verify your face or fingerprint with Aadhaar, and submit the certificate. Upon submission, you will receive a download link with a Certificate ID and PPO number.
Special facility for super senior citizens and disabled pensioners
The government has provided a special facility for pensioners above 80 years of age. Now, both banks and post offices are offering doorstep service, i.e., the facility to submit digital life certificates at their homes. This will save the elderly the hassle of standing in lines and ensure their pension is credited to their accounts on time.
India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) agents are also providing this service at their homes, providing relief to super senior citizens and disabled pensioners.
EPFO also simplified the process
EPFO has also simplified the process for pensioners to submit digital life certificates. Now, EPFO members can submit certificates directly by scanning their faces on their mobile phones. This feature is especially helpful for those who cannot leave their homes.

Government’s Goal: Digital Access to Every Pensioner
The government states that this initiative is aligned with the Digital India and Ease of Living Missions. It will provide convenience to pensioners, increase transparency, and reduce the time required for the pension distribution process. The government’s goal is to ensure that this facility reaches every pensioner in the country, ensuring that no one is deprived of their pension simply because they cannot access a bank.
