Life Certificate : To get pension, pensioners are required to submit Life Certificate every year. This certificate proves that the person receiving the pension is alive and should continue to receive pension.
If this certificate is not submitted on time, the pension payment is stopped. If you do not submit the Life Certificate by 30 November, then you will stop getting pension.
