Digital Life Certificate: Every year, millions of government pensioners are required to submit a life certificate to prove their identity and prove their survival. Previously, this process was lengthy and cumbersome, requiring frequent visits to banks or post offices. However, now a digital facility called Jeevan Pramaan (Life Certificate) has simplified this process. Through this, pensioners can submit their certificate online from the comfort of their homes within minutes.
All central and state government pensioners are required to submit their life certificate by November 30th, whether online or offline. Failure to do so may result in a suspension of pension payments. Several easy online options are available for submitting a life certificate. Let’s explore who can avail of this facility and how.
This facility is not available to these pensioners.
The Digital Life Certificate facility is not available to pensioners who have remarried or re-employed. Such individuals must submit their life certificates in the old way, i.e. directly to their Pension Disbursing Authority (PDA). This rule is clearly stated in the guidelines of the Jeevan Pramaan portal.
