The Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) is conducting Nationwide DLC Campaign 3.0 in November 2024 to streamline life certificate submission for pensioners through Face Authentication technology. This method allows pensioners to submit certificates via Aadhaar-based recognition on Android smartphones.
Previously, pensioners were required to visit Pension Disbursing Authorities, often challenging for elderly individuals. In 2014, DoPPW introduced Digital Life Certificates (Jeevan Pramaan), and in 2021, Face Authentication technology. This advancement eliminated the need for biometric devices, making the process more accessible.
In 2022, DoPPW organized a campaign across 37 locations, generating 1.41 crore DLCs. The 2023 campaign expanded to 100 locations, with over 1.47 crore DLCs generated.
Campaign 3.0 (scheduled from November 1-30, 2024), will cover 800 locations nationwide. Key partners include the Banks, India Post Payments Bank, Pensioners' Associations, UIDAI, MeitY, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Railways and DoT. Camps will be set up across cities to help pensioners with digital submissions and special arrangements are made for super senior or disabled pensioners, including home visits. Social media will promote the campaign, with oversight from the DoPPW via the DLC Portal.
The campaign’s objective is to ensure even remote or limited-mobility pensioners benefit from this streamlined, accessible system.
In Andhra Pradesh Union Bank of India is organizing camps in Eluru at various locations in the city, viz. CRR College, St. Theresa College, Ashok Nagar, Eluru UBI RR Pet and Eluru RR Pet CAB. India Post Payments Bank is organising camps and providing doorstep services to pensioners through its vast network of Postmen and Gramin Dak Sevek. On 13th Nov 2024, Mrs. Manju Gupta, Assitant Director (OL) from the Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare will be visiting these camps organised by UBI and IPPB to assist pensioners in use of various digital modes to submit their Life Certificates. In these camps, UIDAI will assist pensioners for updation of their Aadhaar records, where ever required and also to take care of any technical issues.
