1.     CPAO/Tech/Grievances/2010-11/531, dated 30.06.2011, issued by Central Pension Accounting Office. New Delhi, which provides for exemption from personal appearance by Pensioners submitting Life Certificate. if the prescribed form in Annexure-XVII of Para 15.2(i) of Scheme Booklet, is signed by certain specified authorities.

It also directs all Banks to ensure Door-step submission of Life Certificate facility, along with Banking facility to all senior citizens of more than 70 years of age and differently abled or infirm persons, including pick up of cash and delivery of cash against withdrawal.

The Bank shall also ask such pensioners, through SMS/E-mail. as to whether they are interested in submission of Life Certificate through a doorstep visit by the bank.
