The retired employees of government of India, State governments, EPFO or any other government organisations have to submit a Life Certificate annually to prove that they are alive, so that their pension gets deposited in their bank accounts. For this the pensioners had to physically appear at their banks or respective pension distributing agencies to prove that they are living. However, now the pensioners need not be physically present to submit their life certificates (Jeevan Praman) and digital life certificate (DLC) will be available for them at their nearest post office or even at their doorstep, states a press release by the Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Goa Division, Panaji.
For receiving their Digital Life Certificate (DLC), a biometric enabled digital service for pensioners of Central government, State government, EPFO or any other government organisation, the pensioners can take benefit of this facility at doorstep or at any post office.
