Big relief for pensioners! Now life certificate will be deposited sitting at home from the app, know the whole process

New Delhi. Pensioners will no longer need to go to the bank or pension agency for submission of life certificate. Now they will be able to do this work from the mobile app sitting at home. The government has already extended the last date for submission of life certificate to 28 February 2022.


To continue the pension, every pensioner has to submit his Jeevan Pramaan Patra, also known as Life Certificate, to the bank or pension agency. But now with the introduction of Face Recognition Technology, they will be able to do this work online as well.

Union Minister of State Dr. Jitendra Singh while launching this technology said that 68 lakh pensioners of the Central Government will benefit from the Face Recognition Technology of giving life certificates, as well as the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and the State Government.
