FAQ :
A life certificate is a document provided by a pensioner to their pension distributor, such as a bank or post office, to confirm they are still alive. This is required annually to ensure pension payments are correctly made.
Pensioners can use doorstep banking services offered by an alliance of 12 public sector banks or opt for the postal service's doorstep digital life certificate submission. Both services can be booked via mobile app, website, or a toll-free number.
The banks in the alliance include State Bank of India (SBI), Punjab National Bank (PNB), Bank of Baroda, Bank of India, Canara Bank, Bank of Maharashtra, Central Bank of India, Indian Bank, Indian Overseas Bank, Punjab & Sind Bank, UCO Bank, and Union Bank of India.
A nominal fee of Rs 70 (inclusive of GST/CESS) is charged for each successful generation of a Digital Life Certificate (DLC) through the post office. There are no additional doorstep charges for IPPB or non-IPPB customers.
Before a postman or agent visits, pensioners should have their Aadhaar number, existing mobile number, type of pension, sanctioning authority details, PPO number, and bank account number ready.
