Why Life Certificate gets rejected

The core reason for rejection, as stated by the Jeevan Pramaan portal itself, is a mismatch of data between the details provided during the DLC generation and the records held by your Pension Disbursing Agency (PDA) like the bank or Post Office.

What should pensioners do when they receive an SMS on their mobile about Jeevaan Pramaan being rejected?

According to the Jeevan Pramaan portal, pensioners should ontact their Pension Disbursing Agency. It is recommended that a new JeevanPramaan i.e Pramaan-ID, be generated by providing all correct information and biometrics.
Jeevan Pramaan

Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric-enabled digital service for pensioners. Pensioners of the Central Government, State Government or any other Government organisation can take advantage of this facility.

Digital Life Certificate
Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners Scheme aims to streamline the process of getting this certificate and make it hassle-free and much easier for the pensioners. With this initiative, now the pensioner need not visit the office of the Disbursing Agency for physical submission of Life Certificate and may use the Aadhaar-enabled Biometric authentication mechanism to generate Digital Life Certificate.

Advantages of Digital Life Certificate (DLCs)

  • It may be generated from anywhere including home if the Windows/Android based device is having an Internet and STQC certified Bio metric device connected to it is available.

  • Auto SMS to pensioners regarding DLC.

  • Auto transfer of DLC to Pension Disbursing Agency.

  • Sending SMS by Pension Disbursing Agency after processing.

Life certificate submission deadline

The deadline for submitting the annual Life Certificate is November 30 for pensioners. This submission is mandatory to ensure the pensioner is alive and eligible to continue receiving their pension.
