Who Can Use the Digital Life Certificate?
Jeevan Pramaan is for pensioners whose Pension Sanctioning Authority is onboarded with the system. This covers many
Central Government, State Government, and other supported pensioners. It is not only for those above 80. Unsure?
Check the onboarded list on the Jeevan Pramaan portal.

When to Submit the Digital Life Certificate in 2026?
The submission period depends on age:

     Age 80 and above: from October 1, 2026
     Below 80: generally from November 1, 2026
     Usual deadline: November 30, 2026, subject to your pension authority's rules

Do not wait for the last day, especially if help is needed.

What to Keep Ready for Your Digital Life Certificate
     Aadhaar number and mobile number
     PPO number and pension account number
     Pension type and Pension Sanctioning Authority details
     Pension Disbursing Agency details, such as the bank or post office

The pensioner's Aadhaar should already be registered with the Pension Disbursing Agency.

Banks, post offices, Pension Disbursing Agency offices, Common Service Centres, and Jeevan Pramaan centres can help
if the pensioner prefers not to use apps.

You receive a Pramaan ID, and the certificate goes electronically to the Pension Disbursing Agency. Usually, you do not
need to carry a printed copy again. Keep the Pramaan ID safe; you can download a PDF copy from the portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Jeevan Pramaan the same as a Digital Life Certificate?

Jeevan Pramaan is the Aadhaar-based service used to generate a Digital Life Certificate. The certificate is the electronic
document the service creates.

Can a son or daughter help an elderly pensioner submit it?

Yes, they can help with the phone, app, and pension details. But the pensioner’s own Aadhaar and authentication are
required.

Do I need a fingerprint scanner?
No, not if you use face authentication on a supported smartphone.

Do I need to submit the certificate again at the bank?

Normally, no. Once generated, it is electronically available to the Pension Disbursing Agency.

What should I do if my Digital Life Certificate is rejected?
Check the PPO number, pension account details, and authority details. Contact the Pension Disbursing Agency if
needed, then generate a fresh certificate with the correct information.
