EPFO Pensioners Submit Jeevan Pramaan Patra via Aadhaar Face ID
Pensioners in India have to prove they are still alive every year.
They do this by submitting a special paper called a Life Certificate, or Jeevan Pramaan Patra.
The certificate has to be submitted by 30 November each year.
If they do not submit it on time, their pension payments can be stopped.
The certificate can be submitted in person at an office or bank.
It can also be submitted online using a smartphone.
To submit online, pensioners install two apps and take a photo of their face with the phone's camera.
The phone needs a front camera that is good enough for the face scan to work.
After submitting, they get a message with a link to download their certificate.
The certificate is valid for one year, so this has to be done every year.
Pensioners in India must submit their Jeevan Pramaan Patra (Life Certificate) annually by 30 November to continue receiving pension payments.
The certificate can be submitted online using Aadhaar face authentication or offline at designated government offices, banks, and post offices.
Pensioners need their PPO number, Aadhaar number, bank account details, and Aadhaar-linked mobile number to submit the certificate.
Pensioners who miss the 30 November deadline could see their pension payments stopped, with delayed certificates considered by Central Pension Processing Centers (CPPC).
For online submission, pensioners install the 'AadhaarFaceRD' and 'Jeevan Pramaan Face App' from Google Play Store and need a smartphone with at least a 5 MP front camera.
