Jeevan Pramaan: PM Modi launches Aadhar-based Digital Life Certificate
NEW DELHI: In a move aimed at benefitting over a crore pensioners, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched 'Jeevan Pramaan - Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners'.
According to PM Modi, Jeevan Pramaan, which is an Aadhar-based Digital Life Certificate, will be an enabling mechanism which would benefit the common man. The proposed digital certification will do away with the requirement of a pensioner having to submit a physical Life Certificate in November each year,
in order to ensure continuity of pension being credited into his account.
"The Department of Electronics and IT has developed a software application which will enable the recording of the pensioner's Aadhar number and biometric details from his mobile device or computer, by plugging in a biometric reading device. Key details of the pensioner, including date, time, and biometric information will be uploaded to a central database on real-time basis, ultimately enabling the Pension Disbursing Agency to access a Digital Life Certificate.
This will conclusively establish that the pensioner was alive at the time of authentication," a press release said.
The earlier requirement entailed that a pensioner either personally presents himself before the Pension Disbursing Agency, or submits a Life Certificate issued by authorities specified by the Central Pension Accounting Office (CPAO).
