The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India has launched a nation-wide campaign for promotion of Digital Life Certificate for Central Government pensioners. In November 2021, Dr. Jitendra Singh, the Hon’ble Minister of State (PP) had launched the milestone Face Authentication Technique of submitting Life Certificate through any Android Mobile Phone. Now the department has launched a special nation- wide campaign for promoting the Life certificate through Digital mode and for popularizing the Face Authentication technique.
All the registered Pensioners’ Associations, Pension Disbursing Banks, Ministries/ Departments of Government of India and CGHS Wellness Centres have been directed to promote the Digital Life Certificate/Face Authentication Technique for submitting Life Certificate by organising special camps for ‘Ease of Living’ of pensioners. In this series, a Central Government team of Officials from Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare shall be visiting Nagpur where this campaign shall be organised on November 11 at 10 am onwards for Central Government pensioners at SBI, PBB Nagpur Branch, (erstwhile Nagpur Main Branch), Near Nagpur Railway Station, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Marg (Kingsway), Nagpur 440001. All the pensioners can visit the Centre for submitting their Life Certificates through Digital means.
Earlier, life certificates had to be submitted in physical form and for this old pensioners were to stand in queue outside banks for hours. Now, it has become possible at the click of a button from the comfort of their homes. In the process of submission of Life Certificate through Face Authentication by mobile, the details regarding Aadhaar Number, Mobile Number for OTP, PPO Number, Account Number with Bank/Post Office are required for the first time.
