Ahmedabad: Pensioners no longer need to visit any treasury, bank, or other department to obtain a life certificate. They can now acquire a digital life certificate with the help of a Postman or Gramin Dak Sevak at their nearest post office. A fee of Rs. 70 has been set for this service. The certificate will be automatically sent to the concerned department online, ensuring there are no hindrances in receiving the pension, said Postmaster General Krishna Kumar of Rajkot.

Yadav further mentioned that through India Post Payments Bank, pension holders from all central and state government departments can now avail themselves of the digital life certificate service at home. The Digital Life Certificate Campaign 3.0 will run on a large scale until 30th November. India Post Payments Bank had launched a digital platform in 2020 to generate life certificates for Central, State, and Employees Provident Fund pension holders.

The doorstep service for life certificates, coordinated by the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare and the National Informatics Centre, uses a digital process that includes face authentication and fingerprint biometric verification. This service will be expanded to ensure pensioners, especially those in remote areas, can easily access it.

To avail of this facility, pensioners can visit https://ccc.cept.gov.in/ServiceRequest/request.aspx . To generate the life certificate, pensioners must provide their Aadhaar number, mobile number, bank or post office savings account number, and PPO number. Once the certificate generation process is completed, a confirmation SMS will be sent to the pensioner’s mobile number. The certificate can then be viewed online at the Jeevan Pramaan app or https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/ppouser/login . DeshGujarat
