Available Options for Submitting Manual Life Certificate
Bank Branch Submission
It is also easier to update Life certificate as pensioners can report at the bank with which the pension account is opened. Such as a Life Certificate form which is preferably obtained from the bank and has to be endorsed and delivered personally.
Submission by an Authorized Representative
For pensioners who do not wish to visit the bank, there is an opportunity to get the Life Certificate signed by a proper officer. It enables pensioners to complete the submission in a way that will not require their physical presence hence being very suitable for those with mobility challenges.
Pension-Disbursing Office Submission
Pensioners also have an opportunity to deliver the Life Certification directly at the pension disbursing branch if it is convenient for them.
Modes for Submission of Digital Life Certificate
Jeevan Pramaan Portal
Under the initiative of the Jeevan Pramaan portal, one could also submit the Digital Life Certificate (DLC) online. This option involves biometric authentication and can be done using the Jeevan Pramaan mobile application or by visiting standard biometric centers.
Face Authentication using a Smartphone
A new addition provides an identity verification option for pensioners using facial recognition on the smartphone. This method is especially useful for pensioners who experience challenges on how to attend submission centers.
Doorstep Banking and Postal Service
For pensioners who cannot visit a branch or biometric center, they can request, for a service fee, home delivery from participating banks and postal services. It is convenient because a bank representative, or postman, can help the pensioner with the biometric verification right at his/her home.
The DoPPW insists on clients using digital solutions as much as possible for easier, secure, and efficient processes. By observing the above features, pensioners’ pension amount never stops being paid as they may wish.
