Pensioners play a crucial role in the system and must apply for a life certificate, also known as Jeevan Praman, once a year to confirm that they are still alive.
This ensures they continue receiving their pension on time, highlighting their integral role and value in the system. Canara Bank has introduced a user-friendly online slot booking system for senior citizens.
Starting October 1, this system allows them to apply for the life certificate via video call. The best part is that pensioners can complete this process from the comfort of their homes.
Pensioners should use the Jeevan Praman portal to apply for the life certificate and download the Jeevan Praman app. Biometric verification is done through the pensioner’s fingerprint.
Central government employees have an additional step in the process. In addition to the regular process, they must complete face authentication, biometric verification, iris scanning, or video KYC.
If pensioners have any concerns or need assistance with the life certificate process, they can always rely on the support available at the nearest post office.
To apply for the life certificate online, pensioners must download the Aadhaar Face RD App from the Google Play Store and then the Jeevan Praman app.
After entering their Aadhaar number, mobile number, and email address, a One Time Password (OTP) will be sent to their mobile number.
The app will prompt the pensioner to complete a face scan. After providing additional information such as their full name, pension type, authority, agency, PPO number, and account number, they will receive the Praman ID and PPO number on their mobile screen.
