Many retired individuals depend on their pensions not only as a source of income but also as a way to manage their expenses and medications. This is the reason why missing any important deadline regarding pensions may cause additional problems.
The last day for submitting the annual life certificate, also called Jeevan Pramaan Patra, will be November 30, 2026. Pensioners who have reached 80 years of age may begin submitting it from October 1, while others may begin from November 1.
