Issue and verify Digital Life Certificates for pensioners — biometric, paperless, accepted by all pension agencies.

Short Information

Jeevan Pramaan is the Government of India's biometric-based Digital Life Certificate (DLC) platform for retired Central, State, defence and EPF pensioners. Pensioners no longer need to physically present themselves at treasury offices every November; instead they record an Aadhaar-linked biometric (fingerprint, iris or face authentication) at any Jeevan Pramaan centre, Common Service Centre, bank branch, India Post office or via the AadhaarFaceRD smartphone app. The system generates a DLC ID that the disbursing agency (PFMS, CGA, banks, EPFO) automatically verifies before releasing the next pension instalment. The portal also lets pensioners view submitted certificates, download digitally-signed PDFs and check disbursement history.
