Life certificate submission 2025: The deadline for submitting life certificates in November has arrived for all central and state government pensioners. Pensioners submit their life certificates to the relevant department in November, ensuring their pension is not interrupted. The government is providing the facility to submit life certificates both offline and online.
Pensioners can now also submit life certificates digitally. However, in some special cases, pensioners cannot submit digital life certificates. Submissions must be made offline. Before submitting a digital life certificate, you should check whether you fall into this category.
Which pensioners cannot submit a digital life certificate?
The facility to submit a digital life certificate is available to pensioners who have neither re-employed nor remarried. If a pensioner re-employs or remarries, their pension conditions change.
In such cases, the digital system cannot automatically recognize this change. Therefore, these pensioners must submit a life certificate offline by visiting the relevant bank or department. They must also provide certain relevant documents so that their records can be updated.
How to submit a digital life certificate?
Pensioners can submit their life certificate online or offline. Pensioners can submit their life certificate online through the Jeevan Pramaan portal or the Umang app, where biometric verification is performed using their Aadhaar card. This generates a digital certificate. Alternatively, you can submit your life certificate offline by visiting the relevant bank branch or CSC center.
