The central government has introduced a unique face recognition technology for the submission of life certificates by pensioners. This technology helps pensioners submit life certificates from the convenience of their home. All pensioners are required to submit the certificates every year to continue receiving the pension.
The pensioners are mandated to give life certificates to their pension disbursing authorities (PDAs) like banks, post offices etc. to continue to receive their due pension. Earlier, the pensioners could generate digital life certificates by visiting citizen service centres or designated government offices or bank branches.
