EPFO Enables Digital Submission of Jeevan Pramaan Patra for Pensioners Using Aadhaar Face ID
The Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS-95) covers over 82 lakh pensioners who must submit the Jeevan Pramaan Patra (digital life certificate) annually to continue receiving pensions. The submission window for retirees aged 80 and above opens on October 1 and closes on November 30. Aadhaar-based Face ID authentication allows pensioners to submit the certificate digitally without visiting offices, though some elderlies may need assistance. The process requires Aadhaar registration with the pension disbursing authority and compatible devices for biometric verification.
