Jeevan Pramaan lets Central Government, State Government, and other government pensioners generate a biometrically-authenticated digital life certificate using their Aadhaar number, which is then made available directly to the pension-disbursing agency — replacing the earlier requirement to appear in person once a year.
Check complete Jeevan Pramaan scheme details to submit your Digital Life Certificate (DLC) online without visiting bank branches or pension offices. Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric-enabled digital service initiative by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for Indian pensioners.
What is the Jeevan Pramaan Scheme?
Jeevan Pramaan streamlines the annual life certificate submission process for senior citizens receiving pensions from the Central Government, State Governments, or other government organisations. By utilising Aadhaar-based biometric authentication or face recognition technology, pensioners can generate a digital life certificate instantly from home or nearby centres.
