Jeevan Pramaan is the Aadhaar-based Digital Life Certificate that pensioners submit every year so their pension continues. Most pensioners must submit it in November; pensioners aged 80 and above can submit from 1 October. It is generated by fingerprint, iris or face authentication with the pensioner’s Aadhaar, PPO number and bank details, and is sent electronically to the pension disbursing agency.
What is Jeevan Pramaan?
Jeevan Pramaan is a Government of India service that replaces the paper life certificate with an Aadhaar-authenticated Digital Life Certificate (DLC). The certificate is stored in a central repository and shared with the bank, post office or pension office that pays the pension, so the pensioner does not need to appear in person.
The annual submission window is November, with super-senior pensioners aged 80+ allowed to submit from 1 October. If the certificate is not submitted, pension payments can be held back until it is.
