Welcome to Jeevan Pramaan – Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners

Jeevan Pramaan is a bio-metric-enabled digital service for pensioners. Pensioners of the Central Government, State Government, or any other Government organization can take benefit from this facility.

More than One Crore families in India can be classified as pensioner families, where the pension disbursed by the various government bodies forms the basis for their income and sustainability.

There are about Fifty Lakh pensioners of the Central Government and a similar number of the various State and UT Governments and various other government agencies. This includes pensioners from various public sector enterprises. In addition to this Army and Defence Personnel, drawing pension exceeds Twenty-five lakhs.

One of the major requisites for the pensioners post their retirement from service, is to provide life certificates to the authorized pension disbursing agencies like Banks, Post offices, etc., following which their pension is credited to their account.

In order to get this life certificate the individual drawing the pension is required to either personally present oneself before the Pension Disbursing Agency or have the Life Certificate issued by authority where they have served earlier and have it delivered to the disbursing agency.

This very requirement of personally being present in front of the disbursing agency or getting a life certificate often becomes a major hurdle in the process of seamless transfer of pension amount to the pensioner.

It has been noted that it causes a lot of hardship and unnecessary inconvenience, particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners who cannot always be in a position to present themselves in front of a particular authority to secure their life certificate.

In addition to this, a lot of government employees post their retirement choose to move to a different location either to be with their family or for other reasons, hence causing a huge logistical issue when it comes to accessing their rightful pension amount.

The Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners Scheme of the Government of India known as Jeevan Pramaan seeks to address this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. It aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate and make it hassle-free and much easier for pensioners.

With this initiative, the pensioner’s requirement to physically present himself/herself in front of the disbursing agency or the certification authority will become a thing of the past benefiting the pensioners in a huge way and cutting down on unnecessary logistical hurdles.

Pensioner who is residing abroad, how can submit the Life Certificate?

In the case of a pensioner residing abroad and drawing his pension through any bank included in the Second Schedule to the Reserve Bank of India, Act, 1934, the life certificate may be signed by an officer of the Bank [Click to read continue]
