Union Minister Launches Nationwide Digital Life Certificate Campaign Ahead of November Deadline
Union Minister Jitendra Singh launched the fifth nationwide Digital Life Certificate Campaign to simplify annual pension verification for government pensioners. The campaign promotes the use of the Jeevan Pramaan portal, enabling pensioners to submit life certificates digitally via Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, including face recognition. Pensioners aged 80 and above can submit from October 1, while others can start from November 1, with a deadline of November 30, 2026. Failure to submit may delay pension payments.
