Digital Life Certificate Update: New Doorstep Service Launched to Simplify Process for Pensioners - Check Details Here
In a major move to simplify pension-related services, the India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) has partnered with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to make submitting Digital Life Certificates (DLCs) easier than ever. Pensioners across India can now complete this process right from their homes, eliminating the hassle of visiting banks or EPFO offices.
Doorstep Digital Life Certificate Service Launched for Pensioners
The new initiative allows pensioners to generate their Digital Life Certificates through the IPPB’s doorstep service . This service, available across the country, ensures convenience and accessibility for senior citizens who often face mobility challenges. Best of all, the service is completely free of cost, with the EPFO covering all expenses related to the issuance of the certificates.
How the Doorstep Verification Works
Equipped with Doorstep Banking devices, postal employees will visit pensioners’ homes to help them complete the verification process using fingerprint or face authentication. This Aadhaar-based process ensures accuracy and security while saving time and effort for pensioners. Once verified, a confirmation SMS is sent to the pensioner, and the Digital Life Certificate is uploaded online within 24 hours.
Boosting Ease of Living and Digital India Initiatives
According to R. Viswesvaran, MD and CEO of IPPB, this collaboration with EPFO reinforces the government’s ‘Ease of Living’ vision and strengthens the ‘Digital India’ campaign. The initiative not only enhances the digital inclusion of pensioners but also extends financial and citizen services to every corner of the country through IPPB’s trusted postal network.
Based on Jeevan Pramaan Platform
The Doorstep Digital Life Certificate service is powered by Jeevan Pramaan, a government-backed digital platform that verifies a pensioner’s life status using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication . Introduced by IPPB in 2020, this service earlier required pensioners to visit a post office or contact their local postman or Gramin Dak Sevak. The latest upgrade now brings this convenience directly to their doorstep.
Key Benefits of IPPB-EPFO Digital Life Certificate Service
The IPPB-EPFO partnership marks a transformative step towards a digitally empowered and pensioner-friendly India. By enabling Digital Life Certificate submissions from home, the government is ensuring that senior citizens can manage their pension needs with ease, comfort, and security - all while advancing India’s digital transformation goals.
