Pensioners Aged 80+ Await 2026 Dates for Annual Jeevan Pramaan Submission
Pensioners, especially those aged 80 and above, must submit an annual Digital Life Certificate (DLC) or Jeevan Pramaan to continue receiving pensions. This biometric-enabled, Aadhaar-based certificate verifies a pensioner's status without requiring physical visits. Since 2019, the Department of Pension Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) has allowed super senior citizens to submit their DLC starting October 1 to avoid November rush, though the 2026 submission dates are yet to be announced. The DLC is valid and recognized under the IT Act.
