Challenges and Alternatives for NRI Pensioners Using Jeevan Pramaan Digital Life Certificates
The Jeevan Pramaan platform allows Indian pensioners, including NRIs, to submit Digital Life Certificates online via Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, eliminating physical visits. However, NRIs face challenges such as lack of Indian mobile numbers for OTP verification, Aadhaar authentication failures, and difficulties accessing digital services or Indian missions abroad. The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare has outlined alternative submission methods through banks, authorized agents, or Indian missions to help NRIs ensure uninterrupted pension payments.
