The Central Government has started its Digital Life Certificate Campaign 2026, offering pensioners a convenient way to complete their annual life certificate submission.
The facility is designed to make the annual verification process easier, particularly for elderly pensioners who may find it difficult to visit banks or pension offices.
Campaign Covers 2,000 Cities Across India
The nationwide campaign is being conducted across approximately 2,000 cities. Pensioners can use the Jeevan Pramaan digital service to submit their life certificates electronically.
The initiative promotes digital verification and aims to improve access to pension-related services.
Face Authentication Makes Submission Easier
Pensioners with compatible Android or iOS smartphones can use face authentication to complete the process.
The digital facility uses Aadhaar-based authentication and allows eligible pensioners to generate their life certificates without visiting a bank branch.
November 30 Is the Important Deadline
Submitting an annual life certificate is essential for the uninterrupted continuation of pension payments.
The current campaign runs until November 30, 2026. Pensioners who have not yet completed their annual verification should pay attention to this deadline and follow the applicable submission process.
What Pensioners Should Know
The Digital Life Certificate initiative is part of the government’s efforts to modernise pension administration and reduce paperwork.
By expanding digital verification facilities, the government aims to make pension services more accessible, especially for senior citizens living far from banks and government offices.
