Life Certificate: No need to visit the office for pension, life certificate will be submitted through face authentication..

If you or someone you know receives pension benefits, there's good news. The Department of Pension and Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) is soon launching the Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 4.0. This campaign will run from November 1-30, 2025. Camps will be set up in 1,600 districts across the country, and door-to-door access will be provided to elderly and disabled pensioners. Submitting life certificates will become even easier for pensioners. Face authentication technology will be used for this, allowing seniors to submit their life certificates from the comfort of their homes.

What is Face Authentication Technology?
Pensioners are required to submit their life certificates annually, and this process is performed between November 1 and 30. Failure to do so could result in the pensioner's pension being stopped. Previously, this required frequent visits to government offices, but now this can be done from home using face authentication. Face authentication technology uses a live camera scan to compare your face with previously recorded data. This is a fast and secure method of biometric identification. Let's quickly understand the entire process.

Understand the entire process.
Step 1: First, you need to download the Aadhaar Face RD application on your phone. This is an app developed by UIDAI. It should be noted that this app works in the background and is required for the 'Jeevan Pramaan App'.

Step 2: Download the 'Jeevan Pramaan App'
After installing the Aadhaar Face RD app, you must download the 'Jeevan Pramaan App' on your phone. The life certificate is submitted through this app.

Further Process
To submit the life certificate from home, open the 'Jeevan Pramaan App' on your phone. You will see the 'Operator Authentication' screen. Here:
Click the Aadhaar checkbox and enter your Aadhaar number.
Enter your mobile number and email address.
Press the Submit button.

After submitting, an OTP will be sent to your mobile number and email address. Enter this OTP into the app and submit.

Step 4: After entering the OTP, a new screen will appear. Enter your name as per your Aadhaar card, tick the checkbox, and select the "Scan" option. The app will then ask for permission to scan your face. Tap Yes.

Step 5: Some instructions will then appear. Tap "I am aware of this" and then tap Proceed. Your face will be scanned.

Step 6: After the face scan is complete, the Pensioner Authentication screen will open. Enter the required information correctly. Your face will be scanned again, and you will receive your Pramaan ID and PPO number.

Step 7: Finally, to download the certificate, visit the Jeevan Pramaan website. Log in and enter your Pramaan ID. Your certificate will be downloaded immediately.
