Life Certificate Made Easy: Submit Online from Home Using Mobile
Life Certificate submission for pensioners has become more convenient than ever. Using smartphones and face authentication technology, pensioners can now download and submit their Digital Life Certificate (DLC) from home, eliminating the need to visit banks, post offices, or EPFO offices. This digital process is faster, secure, and especially helpful for elderly and differently-abled individuals.
Digital Life Certificate via Smartphone
Pensioners are required to submit a Life Certificate every year to ensure uninterrupted pension payments. Earlier, this involved long visits to banks or post offices, which was time-consuming and cumbersome. Now, with the EPFO’s face authentication technology, pensioners can complete the process entirely online using a smartphone and internet connection.
