Digital Life Certificate For Pensioners: Check Easy Ways To Submit Jeevan Pramaan Patra

Government pensioners or those who receive a pension from the government mandatorily need to submit a specific document every year to ensure that they continue receiving their pensions. Here, we are talking about life certificates or Jeevan Pramaan Patra that are submitted by pensioners through various options to make the process easier.

Jeevan Pramaan Patra is a biometric-enabled digital service for pensioners. Those receiving a pension from the central Government, state government, or any other government organisation can benefit from these facilities.

Those above the age of 80 can submit their Jeevan Pramaan Patra or digital life certificate between October 1 and November 30, 2023, while others can submit their certificate between November 1 and November 30, 2023.

The certificate must be produced every year in November to authorised pension disbursing providers like banks and post offices, following which the pensions are credited on a regular basis to their accounts.

Using the Aadhaar number and other pension-related information, pensioners can submit their life certificates in real-time by visiting the nearby CSC centre, bank branches, or government offices. They can now easily submit his/her life certificate without having to go to the bank or the post office.

Check the different ways through which one can submit their digital life certificate or Jeevan Pramaan Patra:

1. Pensioners can visit the Jeevan Pramaan Portal and submit their life certificate with the use of fingerprints using a fingerprint reader.
2. Besides that, pensioners can also access ‘Doorstep Banking’ which is available at a few public sector banks across the country. This service is available for senior citizens above the age of 70 or those with mobility issues to help them submit their certificates.
3. Pensioners can also use face authentication technology to submit their certificates with the use of an Android smartphone. For this, they need to download the Aadhaar Face RD app from the Google Play Store and the Jeevan Pramaan application.
4. Pensioners can also request the postman to submit the digital life certificate through the Indian Post Payment bank website. Launched in 2020, this step ensures that the postman arrives at the pensioner’s homes and collects the certificates.
5. Life certificates can be also submitted through the India Post Payments Bank’s ‘Doorstep Service for Submission of Digital Life Certificate by Postman’ initiative. This service can be used by downloading the “Postinfo APP” from the Google Play store.
