1.9 cr digital life certificates generated by pensioners

As many as 1.9 crore digital life certificates were generated by pensioners in the last financial year, the Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday. All pensioners are required to submit a life certificate for the continuation of pension payment. To sort out the difficulties being faced by elderly, super senior and differently-abled pensioners in submitting digital life certificates, nationwide digital life certificate (DLC) campaigns have been held from November 1 to 30 every year from 2022 onwards in which camps were held at various locations in identified districts/cities/towns, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply to a question.
