If the Life Certificate is not submitted on time, pension payments may be
stopped or suspended. So, complete the process immediately.
Why is a Life Certificate Needed?
Every year, pensioners must give a Life Certificate so that the government or bank can confirm that:
- The pensioner is alive
- The pension amount is going to the correct person
Earlier, pensioners had to visit the bank or post office in person.
Now, there are digital options also available, which can save time and effort.
How to Submit the Life Certificate?
1. Online (Digital) Option
- Use the Jeevan Pramaan App or website.
- Generate an Aadhaar-based Digital Life Certificate.
- Biometric authentication (fingerprint/iris) may be required through a supported device.
2. Offline Option
- Visit the nearest bank branch, post office or
Common Service Center (CSC). - Submit the Life Certificate with biometric verification.
3. Home Service for Senior Citizens
- Some banks and CSC centers provide doorstep service.
- This is helpful for very senior or ill pensioners who cannot easily travel.
Example: Why Applying Early Helps
For example, 72-year-old Rameshwar Prasad from Lucknow shared his experience:
- Last year, he went to the bank on the last day and had to stand in a long queue.
- This year, he used a CSC center to generate a digital Life Certificate.
- The process was completed in just a few minutes.
His message: Do it on time to avoid long queues and tension.
Why You Should Not Wait Till the Last Minute
- Heavy rush and long queues at banks, post offices, and CSC centers in the last days.
- Technical problems or slow servers may cause delays.
- If delayed, pension may be stopped, causing financial difficulty.
For Pensioners โ This is Not Just a Form
For pensioners, the Life Certificate is not just a formality. It is directly linked to their
monthly income and livelihood.
Submitting the Life Certificate:
- Keeps pension coming without break
- Prevents unnecessary visits to the bank later
- Reduces fear of pension being stopped
