For government pensioners to continue receiving their monthly pension, pension-disbursing authorities (PDAs), including banks and post offices, need them to present a “life certificate” or Jeevan Praman Patra each year. Pensioners have the choice of submitting their Jeevan Praman Patra online or in person in front of PDAs.
