Central government pensioners must submit their ‘Jeevan Praman Patra’ (Life Certificate) by November 30th. From October 1st, those aged 80 years or above can submit this Jeevan Praman form online.
This allows for the uninterrupted receipt of monthly pension payments. The deadline for submitting the life certificate is generally from October 1st to November 30th.
Pensioners can submit documents using face authentication technology. The government has already demonstrated awareness of this technology.
Additionally, an Aadhaar-based digital life certificate using biometrics can be downloaded from the website in PDF format.
If you are still familiar with the online procedure, you can visit your nearest bank directly or avail of doorstep services.
The consequences of not submitting on time: If the ‘Jeevan Praman Patra’ is submitted after the deadline, pension payments will stop in December.
If the Jeevan Praman is submitted after November 30th, the total pension and any arrears up to that point will be paid in the following month.
If pensioners submit the life certificate for three or more years, their pension will be continued. In such circumstances, special permissions are required from the concerned authorities to restore the retirement.
