Jeevan Praman: All Central Government pensioners have to submit their life certificate every year in November so that they get their pension on time. The government has given a special facility to senior pensioners aged 80 years and above. These pensioners can submit their life certificate from October 1 itself. Whereas, for other pensioners the process starts from November 1.

Jeevan Pramaan is a digital certificate, which is generated through Aadhar card and biometric (fingerprint or eye scanning). With this certificate, pensioners no longer need to go to the pension department every year to prove that they are alive. It can be submitted online and is valid under the Information Technology Act. This facility is easy for elderly pensioners. So that, they do not face any problem in the pension process.
Last date for submission of life certificate
Senior pensioners aged 80 years or above can submit their life certificate from October 1, 2024. Other pensioners will start depositing it from November 1. Usually its last date is 30th November. However, the government can also increase it.
What will happen if the life certificate is not submitted on time?
If the pensioners do not submit the life certificate by November 30, their pension for December and beyond will be stopped. Whenever the life certificate will be submitted later. After that, as soon as the pension is updated in the system, the entire pension and outstanding amount will be received in the next payment. If the life certificate is not submitted for three years or more, the approval of the concerned authorities will be required to restart the pension.
