The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare, Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Government of India has launched a nation-wide campaign for promotion of Digital Life Certificate for Central Government pensioners. In this series, the awareness campaign will be held in Guwahati on November 16, 2022 for Central Government pensioners at State Bank of India, New Guwahati Branch, Bamunimaidam. All the pensioners can visit the Centre for submitting their Life Certificates through Digital means.
Earlier, life certificates had to be submitted in physical form which caused delays for old pensioners. Now, life certificates can be submitted at the click of a button. This facility is also available to the employees of the State Government and the disbursing authority in the form of the Treasury Office of the State.
About the Digital Life Certificate:
