Government Enables Digital Life Certificate Submission for Pensioners in 2026
Pensioners must submit an annual Life Certificate to continue receiving pensions, with those aged 80 and above required to submit from October 1, and others between November 1 and 30, 2026. The government offers Jeevan Pramaan, an Aadhaar-based biometric Digital Life Certificate service, allowing electronic submission via the UMANG app or Jeevan Pramaan portal. State Bank of India pensioners can submit life certificates physically at branches or digitally through biometric authentication, facilitating easier verification without in-person visits.
