Jeevan Pramaan Patra | Last date to submit life certificate nears: Ways to do it, charges and more

Via portal/app: Pensioners can opt for the Jeevan Pramaan portal/app, requiring fingerprint submission through UIDAI-mandated equipment.

Using face authentication: Employing the Aadhaar Face RD app and Jeevan Pramaan application on an Android smartphone enables facial authentication, simplifying the process step by step.

Doorstep banking: Banks extend this service to visit the homes of pensioners, especially catering to senior citizens and individuals with limited mobility.

Pensioners need to furnish the following details for generating the life certificate:

Aadhaar number

Name

Mobile number

Self-declared pension-related information: PPO Number, pension account number, bank details, Pension Sanctioning Authority, Pension Disbursing Authority, etc.

In the event of rejection, pensioners can reach out to the Pension Disbursing Agency (PDA). Rejection usually occurs due to incorrect particulars provided during the generation of the digital life certificate. Generating a new Jeevan Pramaan with accurate information and biometrics rectifies the issue.

While some banks may not levy charges for services like life certificate submission, others may do at certain occasions. For example, the doorstep service of India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) offers a digital submission option for pensioners at a nominal cost of ₹70, regardless of whether the pensioner holds an account with IPPB. This effort between the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare, the Department of Posts, the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB), and the Ministry of Electronics and IT aims to facilitate the submission process for all pensioners across the country.
