Jeevan Pramaan lets pensioners submit their mandatory annual life certificate digitally, using Aadhaar-based biometric authentication, instead of visiting a bank branch or pension office in person. Once generated, the digital certificate is automatically shared with the pensioner's pension disbursing agency, so continued pension payment doesn't depend on a physical visit each year.

On successful authentication, a Digital Life Certificate ID is generated and made available to your pension disbursing agency automatically — no physical submission is needed.

Processing time
The Digital Life Certificate is generated instantly once biometric authentication succeeds.

Not if Jeevan Pramaan is accepted by your pension disbursing agency — you can complete Aadhaar biometric authentication from home with a compatible device, at a CSC, or at a bank branch that has one, and it's submitted digitally.
