Jeevan Pramaan: Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners
Pension is an essential source of income
after retirement for senior citizens. It supports them financially
during emergency and helps them look after their needs at this stage of
life. One of the main requisites for the pensioners post their
retirement, was to provide life certificates to the authorised pension
disbursing agencies like the bank, following which their pension got
credited to their account.
For obtaining a life certificate, a
pensioner earlier needed to present himself/herself before the Pension
Disbursing Agency or had the life certificate issued by authority where
they served and had it delivered to the disbursing agency. This very
requirement of personally being present in front of disbursing agency or
getting a life certificate often became a major hurdle in the process
of seamless transfer of pension amount to the pensioner. It was noted
that it causes a lot of hardship and unnecessary inconvenience
particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners who cannot always be in a
position to present them in front of the particular authority to secure
their life certificate. In addition to this a lot of government
employees post their retirement choose to move to different location
either to be with their family or other reasons, hence causing a huge
logistical issue when it comes to accessing their justifyful pension
amount.
Digital Life Certificate – External
website that opens in a new window for Pensioners scheme of the
Government of India known as Jeevan Pramaan – External website that
opens in a new window seeks to ease this very problem by digitizing the
whole process of securing the life certificate. It aims to streamline
the process of getting this certificate and making it hassle free and
much easier for the pensioners. With this initiative the pensioners
requirement to physically present himself or herself in front of
disbursing agency or the certification authority will become a thing of
the past benefiting the pensioners in a huge way and cutting down on
unnecessary logistical hurdles.
Jeevan Pramaan – External website that
opens in a new window is a biometric enabled digital service for
pensioners. Pensioners of Central Government, State Government or any
other Government organization can take benefit of this facility.
