DoPPW Launches Nationwide Digital Life Certificate Campaign for Pensioners
The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) has launched the nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 5.0, aiming for 100% pensioner coverage. The campaign, running through November, promotes digital submission of life certificates using face and biometric authentication to ease the process, especially for elderly and remote-area pensioners. Various camps, including mega and regional ones, are organized by DoPPW, Punjab National Bank, and railway divisions to assist pensioners with DLC generation, registration, and related services, reducing the need for physical bank visits.
