Life Certificate : Like every year, this year also pensioners have to submit their life certificate by 30 November 2024. This certificate determines that the pensioner is alive and should get his pension. Super senior citizens, i.e.
Pensioners above 80 years of age can submit their life certificate from October 1, while senior citizen pensioners between 60 and 80 years will submit it between November 1 and 30.
Pensioners have been given several easy options to submit life certificate, which includes both online and offline facilities. Let’s know about these methods:
1. From India Post Payments Bank (IPPB)
Pensioners can submit their life certificate through India Post Payments Bank (IPPB). From November 2020, IPPB started doorstep service with postman, so that pensioners can avail this service sitting at their home. For this, pensioners have to download Postinfo App from Google Play Store and can avail this service from there.
2. Online through Jeevan Pramaan Portal
Pensioners can also submit their life certificate from home through Jeevan Pramaan Portal. For this, they will need an Aadhaar card. Aadhaar regulator UIDAI has provided information about biometric devices for identity verification, which pensioners can see from the Aadhaar website and verify their identity.
3. Under doorstep banking service
12 government banks across the country provide doorstep banking facility in 100 major cities, which also includes life certificate. For this, pensioners can book through mobile app, website or toll free number. After this, the doorstep banking agent comes to the house and collects the life certificate.
4. Online service for pensioners living abroad
If the pensioner is living abroad, he does not need to go to the bank personally in case of a life certificate signed by a bank official. He can also submit the life certificate online through the Jeevan Pramaan portal. This will not cause any problem to him in receiving the pension even while living abroad.
5. Deposit in person
If pensioners wish, they can personally submit their life certificate by visiting the Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDA). If they cannot appear in person, the certificate can also be submitted by getting it signed by an authorized officer. Through these facilities, pensioners will be able to easily submit their life certificate, so that they can get their pension without any hassle. Pensioners should submit their life certificate on time keeping in mind the deadline. So that, later they can avoid any kind of hassle.
