Every year in the month of November, one of the major requisites for government pensioners is to provide life certificates to the authorized pension disbursing agencies like the bank, following which their pension is credited to their account. In order to get this life certificates, the individual drawing the pension is required to either be personally present themselves before the Pension Disbursing Agency or to have the Life Certificate issued by the authority where they have served earlier and have it delivered to the disbursing agency, according to the National Informatics Centre.
Digital Life Certificate aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate and making it hassle-free and much easier for the pensioners. With this initiative, the requirement for pensioners to physically be present 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.
