Challenges and Importance of Submitting Digital Life Certificates for Pensioners
Pensioners must submit a Life Certificate annually to continue receiving pension payments. The government’s Jeevan Pramaan system offers a digital option using Aadhaar-based authentication, eliminating the need for in-person submission. However, non-resident Indian (NRI) pensioners face challenges such as biometric authentication failures, lack of an Indian mobile number for OTPs, and dependence on family members for digital submission. Failure to submit a valid certificate may lead to suspension of pension payments, which can resume once the certificate is accepted.
