What is a Life Certificate ?
The Life Certificate, also known as Jeevan Pramaan Patra , is a biometric document used to confirm that a pensioner is still alive. It uses biometric technology , including the Aadhaar verification process, and contains the Aadhaar number and biometric details of the individual. This certificate is recognized under the IT Act and is essential to ensure pension disbursement. Without submitting the certificate, your pension from December onward may be withheld.
