Pensioners are required to submit their life certificates annually to various disbursing agencies to continue receiving their pensions. Tracking the status of the life certificate after submission can help take prompt action in case of rejection. Let’s understand the step-by-step process for checking the status of the life certificate.
What is a life certificate?
To continue receiving their pension, pensioners of the central government, state government, or any other government organisation are required to submit life certificates to authorised pension disbursing agencies like banks, post offices, etc.
Pensioners can submit their life certificates using various methods, such as the Jeevan Pramaan Portal, a Doorstep Banking (DSB) agent, biometric devices at post offices, and physical life certificate forms at bank branches.
