In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in various states and keeping in view the vulnerability of elderly population to Corona virus, Government has decided to further extend the time limit up to February 28 for submission of Life Certificate (Jeevan Pramaan) by the Central Government pensioners.
Pensioners can submit life certificate through any of the permissible modes during the extended period. A pensioner is required to submit the life certificate in the month of November every year.
The time limit for submission of ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ by the Central Government pensioners was earlier extended up to December, 2021. Pension will continue to be paid by the Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) uninterrupted during the extended period. PDAs have been advised to continue to maintain Covid-19 appropriate behaviour while obtaining Life Certificates and to ensure proper arrangements and social distancing measures at the bank branches to prevent overcrowding.
