Jeevan Pramaan - Life Certificate for Pensioners through CSCs
"Jeevan Pramaan" is a digital life certificate initiative launched by the Government of India for pensioners. It aims to simplify the process of proving that a pensioner is still alive, which is necessary for the continuation of pension payments. Traditionally, pensioners had to physically present themselves to the pension disbursing agency or submit a life certificate issued by an authorized person.
With Jeevan Pramaan, pensioners can generate a digital life certificate using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication. This can be done through a mobile app, a computer with a biometric device, or by visiting a Common Service Centre (CSC). The digital life certificate is then sent directly to the pension disbursing agency, eliminating the need for physical presence or paperwork.
