The period to submit life certificates or Jeevan Pramaan Patra for pensioners below the age of 80 has begun this month. A life certificate is required by pensioners across the country to prove that they are still alive to continue to receive their pension without any problems. The last date to submit life certificates this year is on November 30. While the window to submit their proof of being alive had already opened for pensioners above 80 on October 1. This will close for both the categories on November 30 this year, following which pensioners who do not submit this essential document may not be able to receive their monthly allowance. SBI pension Seva has come up with a video call facility whereby life certificates can be submitted.
The senior citizens traditionally are required to present themselves physically in front of pension disbursal authorities to submit their Jeevan Pramaan. To facilitate the process of submission, many new ways have been launched by banks, pension disbursal authorities or PDAs and the government. Through these prescribed ways, pensioners do not have to be physically present at the PDAs but still can submit this essential document.
In this regard, the State Bank of India (SBI) has on Monday launched the Video Life Certificate service via which pensioners can generate this document at the comfort at their homes though video calls. “Now submit your #LifeCertificate from the comfort of your home! Our #VideoLifeCertificate service launching on will allow pensioners to submit their life certificates through a simple video call,” the bank said in a tweet.
In a press statement, the bank said that with this facility, customers can schedule a video call with SBI staff at their convenience. This way, they can complete the process of submitting the life certificate without having to visit the bank branch.
