Life Certificate, Jeevan Pramaan, DLCCampaign4.0: To ensure timely pension payments for retired central government employees, it is mandatory to submit a Life Certificate every year in November. To simplify this process, the Digital Life Certificate Campaign 4.0 (DLCCampaign4.0) has been launched across the country. The Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare launched this campaign on November 1st and will continue until November 30, 2025. The objective of this initiative is to facilitate senior citizens and pensioners to submit their Life Certificates from the comfort of their homes using mobile or face authentication.
What is Jeevan Pramaan?
Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric details-enabled Aadhaar card number-based Digital Life Certificate (DLC) for pensioners. The Life Certificate (DLC) can be generated for each pensioner using their Aadhaar number and biometric details.
This is a valid life certificate and is recognized under the IT Act. Submitting a life certificate once a year is mandatory for pensioners to continue receiving their pension. This certificate helps pensioners prove to their pension-issuing organization that they are alive.
What is the deadline for submitting a life certificate?
The deadline for submitting a life certificate is usually November 30th, and the window for this opens on November 1st every year. A special window for submitting life certificates for pensioners over 80 years of age opens from October 1st, 2025. This time, a life certificate submitted on time will be valid until November 30th, 2026.
What if you can’t submit your life certificate on time?
If the life certificate isn’t submitted by November, the pensioner will not receive their pension for December and beyond. Once the life certificate is updated in the pension system, the entire pending pension amount will be credited with the next pension payment. However, if the life certificate hasn’t been submitted for three years or more, the pension will only be repaid after approval by the relevant officer through the CPAO, as part of the pension process.
