Life certifcate: Jeevan Pramaan is a digital service equipped with biometric technology tailored for pensioners. This facility is available for pensioners from various government sectors including Central Government, State Government, and other government organisations, providing them with the opportunity to access and utilise this service.
As the November 30, 2024 deadline approaches, pensioners are reminded to submit their Jeevan Pramaan Patra (Life Certificate) to ensure timely pension payments. Failure to submit the certificate on time may result in delays in receiving pension payments for the upcoming months.
To submit the Life Certificate, pensioners have the option to visit bank branches, utilise doorstep banking services, or use the Jeevan Pramaan app for online submissions. Once the certificate is received by the Central Pension Processing Centers (CPPC) and processed in the next pension cycle, payments will resume as usual. It is essential for pensioners to act promptly to avoid any disruptions in their pension payments.
Annual life certificate
The Jeevan Pramaan is a digital life certificate designed for pensioners, utilising biometric technology and Aadhaar-based verification. This certificate, verified through the pensioner's Aadhaar number and biometrics, holds legal recognition under the IT Act.
By submitting the Digital Life Certificate to the Pension disbursing Authority, pensioners can readily verify their status as living individuals, streamlining the pension disbursal process. It should be noted that pension payments for the month of December onwards will not be released to the pensioner.
Importance of Submitting Jeevan Pramaan Certificate
Submitting the Jeevan Pramaan Certificate is essential for the timely disbursement of pension and any pending arrears in the Pension System. Failure to submit the Life Certificate for three years or more will result in a delay in pension payments, requiring approval from the competent authority through the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO). It is important to ensure that the Life Certificate is updated regularly to avoid any disruptions in pension payments.
