India Post Payments Bank offers doorstep digital life certificate service for pensioners

Thiruvananthapuram: India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) is participating in the nationwide Digital Life Certificate Campaign 5.0 organised by the Department of Pension and Pensioners Welfare. The campaign will be conducted across 2,000 districts and sub-districts in the country from November 1 to 30, 2026.

The initiative will enable senior citizens, particularly those living in rural and remote areas, to submit their life certificates conveniently from their homes or at nearby post offices without having to visit pension disbursing agencies in person.

The service is available through postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks (GDS) using face authentication and fingerprint-based biometric authentication, as well as through special camps. Pensioners receiving pensions from Central and State government services and the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) can avail themselves of the Jeevan Pramaan service.

The doorstep service provided through postmen and Gramin Dak Sevaks costs Rs 70, including GST. Pensioners need to provide their Aadhaar number and pension-related details to avail themselves of the service.

Once the certificate submission process is completed, pensioners will receive a confirmation SMS on their registered mobile numbers. They can check their certificates online from the following day through the website jeevanpramaan.gov.in.
