The Department of Pension & Pensioners' Welfare (DoPPW) launched the Nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 3.0 from 1st to 30th November 2024. The campaign spans 800 cities/districts across India, embodying a “Whole of Government” approach by bringing multiple stakeholders together.

To enhance the “Ease of Living” for Central Government pensioners, DLC submission using Face Authentication was introduced in 2021. This technology allows pensioners to submit life certificates using any smartphone, reducing the need for external biometric devices and making the process more accessible and affordable.

This year’s campaign, organized in collaboration with Banks, India Post Payments Bank, Pensioners' Associations, UIDAI, MeitY, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Railways and DoT, aims to ensure that pensioners, especially super seniors and incapacitated individuals, can easily submit their life certificates. Camps have been set up nationwide, and staff equipped with smartphones will assist pensioners in branches.
