New Digital Life Certificate Facilities Launched for EPS and UPS Pensioners
The Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) and Unified Pension Scheme (UPS) have introduced digital life certificate facilities to simplify annual submissions for pensioners. The EPS campaign, running from November 1 to 30, promotes face authentication via smartphones to ease the process, especially for elderly or immobile pensioners. Similarly, the PFRDA launched the UPS Jeewan Setu facility, enabling Aadhaar-based digital certificate submission through the NPS by Protean eGov app. Both initiatives aim to reduce physical visits and enhance accessibility for pensioners.
