Jeevan
Praman : Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners
One
of the main requisites for the pensioners post their retirement, was to provide
life certificates to the authorised pension disbursing agencies like the bank,
following which their pension got credited to their account.
For obtaining a
life certificate,
a pensioner earlier needed to present himself/herself before the Pension
Disbursing Agency or had the life certificate issued by authority where they
served and had it delivered to the disbursing agency. This very requirement of
personally being present in front of disbursing agency or getting a life
certificate often became a major hurdle in the process of seamless transfer of
pension amount to the pensioner. It was noted that it causes a lot of hardship
and unnecessary inconvenience particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners
who cannot always be in a position to present them in front of the particular
authority to secure their life certificate. In addition to this a lot of
Government Employees post their retirement choose to move to different location
either to be with their family or other reasons, hence causing a huge
logistical issue when it comes to accessing their rightful pension amount.
Digital Life
Certificate - External website that opens in a
new window for Pensioners scheme of the Government of India
known as Jeevan
Pramaan - External website that opens in a new window
seeks to ease this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the
life certificate. It aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate
and making it hassle free and much easier for the pensioners. With this
initiative the pensioners requirement to physically present himself or herself
in front of disbursing agency or the certification authority will become a
thing of the past benefiting the pensioners in a huge way and cutting down on
unnecessary logistical hurdles.
Jeevan Pramaan - External
website that opens in a new window is a biometric enabled
digital service for pensioners. Pensioners of Central Government, State
Government or any other Government organization can take benefit of this
facility.
