Pension life certificate: Step-by-step guide to submit your Jeevan Pramaan using doorstep, online services

The government has made provisions for pensioners to submit their pension life certificate or Jeevan Pramaan through either doorstep service or through the online mode.

Pension life certificate is a biometric service for pensioners of central, state, or any other government organisation. All pensioners have to mandatorily submit a life certificate or Jeevan Pramaan Patra to Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) once a year. This had to be done earlier by physically visiting the Jeevan Pramaan centre near you. But now pensioners can submit it online or avail doorstep service.

The doorstep service, available to all government service retirees, regardless of which banks they have their pension accounts in, will be chargeable.

The certificates can also be submitted online by visiting the Jeevan Pramaan Portal, that was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi after he came to power in the year 2014. For further details, pensioners can visit the website ippbonline.com.
