Annexure-I JeevanPramaan – An Overview

Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners

‘Jeevan Pramaan’ is a biometric enabled service for pensioners that allows them to create and submit digital life certificates as a convenient and hassle free alternative to the annual life certificate that is necessary for continued disbursal of their pensions. Pensioners of Central Government, State Government or any other Government organization can take benefit of this facility. Provision has been made in the Jeevan Pramaan software for the creation and submission of the digital life certificates in respect of the pensioners of the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 as well.

One of the major requisite for the pensioners post their retirement from the service, is to provide life certificates to the authorized pension disbursing agencies like the bank, following which their pension is credited to their account. In order to get this life certificates the individual drawing the pension is required to either personally present himself/ herself before the Pension Disbursing Agency or have the Life Certificate issued by the authority where they have served earlier and have it delivered to the disbursing agency.

This very requirement of personally being present in front of disbursing agency or getting a life certificate often becomes a major hurdle in the process of seamless transfer of pension amount to the pensioner. It has been noted that it causes a lot of hardship and unnecessary inconvenience particularly for the aged and infirm pensioners who cannot always be in a position to present them in front of the particular authority to secure their life certificate. In addition to this a lot of government employees post their retirement choose to move to different location either to be with their family or other reasons, hence causing a huge logistical issue when it comes to accessing their rightful pension amount.

Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners scheme of the Government of India known as JeevanPramaan seeks to address this very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate. It aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate and making it hassle free and much easier for the pensioners. With this initiative the pensioners’ requirement to physically present himself/herself in front of disbursing agency or the certification authority will become a thing of the past benefiting the pensioners in a huge way and cutting down on unnecessary logistical hurdles.

How it Works

JeevanPramaan uses the Aadhaar platform for biometric authentication of the pensioner.

A successful authentication generates the Digital Life Certificate which gets stored in the Life

Certificate Repository. The Pension Disbursing Agencies can access the certificate on-line.

Enrollment

The Enrolment is done through an application which can be downloaded free of cost on

a PC/ Mobile.The application requires a compatible biometric device (Fingerprint or Iris

reader). The pensioners can alternatively visit the nearest JeevanPramaan Centre to get

them registered. The pensioners are required to provide necessary information like

Aadhaar number, Pension Payment Order No., Bank Account No., Bank Name and

Mobile number for the registration process. The registration is required only once for a

pensioner.

Aadhaar Authentication

As part of the process the pensioners must provide their biometrics, either a fingerprint

or Iris and authenticate them. (JeevanPramaan uses the Aadhaar Platform for on-line

biometric authentication)

Life Certificate

After a successful authentication a SMS acknowledgement is sent to the pensioners

mobile number including theJeevanPramaan Certificate ID.The certificates are stored in

the Life Certificate Repository for making it available any time and any where for the

pensioner and the Pension Disbursing Agency.
