Pensioners are required to submit their annual life certificate or Jeevan Pramaan Patra by November 30, 2022 in a bid to continue receiving pension. There are various ways through which a pensioner can submit their annual life certificate digitally.
The Digital Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan), a digital service with biometric support, is available to pensioners. They can generate DLC utilising the Aadhaar-enabled biometric authentication method instead of travelling to the disbursing agency’s office to present a physical life certificate.

Earlier, pensioners had to physically submit their annual life certificate, which was cumbersome. Additionally, there was no way for pensioners to check the status of the updating of their life certificates in the Pension Disbursing Authority’s records.
DLC submission using biometrics was started earlier. The government has now created a Face-Recognition technology system based on the Aadhar database, allowing anyone with an Android-based smartphone to provide a DLC. Jitendra Singh, Minister of State for Personnel, PG and Pensions urged all pensioners to avail the facility of Face Authentication technology.

Step 4: The device is now ready for DLC generation and pensioner authentication.
Step 5: Fill in the pensioner information.
Step 6: Scan a live photograph of the pensioner.
Note: Use proper lighting to photograph a front pose with a neutral expression.
Step 7: Click Submit
A message with a link to download DLC will be sent to the mobile number provided during pensioner authentication.
Points to note: The face app may be used without a biometric device because it uses the phone’s camera to take a picture of the user’s face. Only in India can you download the Jeevan Pramaan face app.
