Jeevan Pramaan Patra: Here comes a big update for the pensioners. The Central government has extended the deadline for pensioners to submit their annual life certificate which is also known as Jeevan Pramaan Patra. Now they can submit the annual life certificate by February 28, 2022, from the previous deadline of December 31, 2021.

The Face Recognition Technology, the government said, will benefit around 68 lakh central government pensioners as they now will be able to submit the Life Certificate simply by using Mobile App.

Giving more details, Union Minister of State, Dr Jitendra Singh said “Face Recognition Technique of giving Life Certificate is a historic and far-reaching reform since it will touch the lives of not only 68 lakh central government pensioners but also crores of pensioners who fall outside the jurisdiction of this Department such as Employees` Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), State Government Pensioners etc.”
