Pensioners Life Certificate : The government has issued an important notice for pensioners across the country. If you are taking pension under any pension scheme of the central or state government, then it is mandatory for you to submit Life Certificate by 30 November.
If you do not do this, your pension may be stopped from December. However, on submitting the certificate, the stopped pension will be returned to the account again.
Why is life certificate necessary?
To receive pension under the pension scheme, pensioners have to submit Jeevan Pramaan Patra every year. This proves that the person receiving the pension is alive and this ensures that the pension continues without any interruption. This certificate can be submitted both online and offline. There are many ways to submit it like Jeevan Pramaan Portal, Face Authentication, Post Payment Bank, and Doorstep Banking Service of the bank.
When and how to submit Jeevan Pramaan Patra?
According to the government rules, pensioners between the ages of 60 and 80 have to submit their life certificates from 1st November to 30th November. For pensioners above 80 years of age, the deadline is from 1st October to 30th November. If the life certificate is not submitted after the last date, the pension may be stopped from December.
What is a life certificate?
Jeevan Pramaan Patra is a biometric digital document that confirms that the person receiving the pension is alive. It has been created for retired government employees so that they do not face any difficulty in getting pension. It is difficult for pensioners to visit the bank or pension office again and again, so the government has started the facility of digital life certificate.
