New Delhi : As per the provisions laid down, pensioners under Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, are required to submit Life Certificate annually in the month of November each year. From 2016, facility has been provided for submission of Jeevan Pramaan digitally as authentication for proof of identity of the individual pensioners.
In order to obviate the difficulties faced by the pensioners in submission of Jeevan Pramaan in the month of November 2017 following has been decided: Pensioners who have already submitted Jeevan Pramaan digitally for the previous year need not essentially submit digital Jeevan Pramaan for the current year. If they face any difficulty in doing so, they may submit paper based life certificate to the pension drawing bank branches concerned or can submit Jeevan Pramaan digitally as per their convenience, and those who have not submitted Jeevan Pramaan digitally even once should submit Jeevan Pramaan digitally in the month of November 2017, according to aPIB release.
The facility of submission of Jeevan Pramaan digitally are available in all offices of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), pension disbursing banks and common service centres. Digital Jeevan Pramaan has been made available in the UMANG App of EPFO. Life Certificate in physical form may be accepted from such pensioners who have genuine reason for non submission of digital Jeevan Pramaan and such reason should be recorded by pensioner while submitting the life certificate. Suitable instructions to the field offices on above lines have already been circulated for compliance so that no pensioner faces any difficulty in this regard.
