Chennai Hosts Mega Camp for Defence Pensioners to Submit Digital Life Certificates
Imagine retired soldiers need to prove they are still alive to keep getting their pension money each month.
Usually, they have to go somewhere and show a paper.
Now, the government is making it easier with a new phone app and special camps.
In Chennai, there's a big event at the Air Force Auditorium where retired soldiers can get help to use their phones or other digital ways to send this proof, called a 'Life Certificate'.
This is part of a bigger plan called 'Digital India' to make things easier for everyone.
They can even use a face scan to prove who they are!
Special help is available for older or disabled pensioners too.
A Mega Camp is being held in Chennai to help defence pensioners submit their Life Certificates digitally.
The event is part of the nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0 organized by the Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare.
Pensioners will receive assistance in submitting Life Certificates through various digital methods, including Aadhaar-based Face Authentication.
Special arrangements are made for super-senior and differently-abled pensioners through doorstep services.
The campaign aims to digitally empower pensioners under the Digital India initiative.
