Pension is the single mode of livelihood for most of the retired employees. Even Central and State Government employees get a monthly pension after retirement. To continue receiving a pension in the pension account, a beneficiary has to provide the life certificate every year in November, which can be a daunting task for some old pensioners to visit the bank every year.  To help the pensioners and reduce the manual work, the government has introduced a Digital Life Certificate or Jeevan Pramaan.

This article covers every detail about Jeevan Pramaan.

What is Jeevan Pramaan?

Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric-enabled Digital Life Certificate for pensioners.  It can be generated online and can be shared with Pension Disbursing Agencies (PDAs). This facility is available for retired employees working in the public sector.

As it is very difficult for senior citizens and other retired employees to visit the bank every year and submit a life certificate in person, the Government of India has made procurements for such pensioners to generate the digital life certificate using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication. The certificate can be generated by visiting the Jeevan Pramaan portal or downloading the Jeevan Pramaan app on the smartphones.
