Submit Annual Life Certificate or EPS Pension Payments Will Stop

Some grandparents get money every month from a government plan called the Employees' Pension Scheme because they used to work.

To keep getting that money, once a year they have to show proof that they are alive.

This proof is called a Life Certificate, and in India it is also known as Jeevan Pramaan.

Without this certificate, the pension money can be stopped the very next month.

The good news is it can start again after the certificate is submitted.

Most people can do it easily using a phone by taking a clear photo of their face and sending it with special apps.

If a grandparent cannot use a phone, family members can help or they can visit a bank or post office.

Some banks even send someone to their home to help them.

The certificate stays valid for 12 months, so it has to be done every year.

If it is late, the missing money is given back once the certificate is received.
