Under the “Digital India Mission” Government of India has launched a Jeevan Pramaan application on 10.11.2014. the facility provides an option to a pensioner to give his lifr certificate remotely through the Jeevan Pramaan portal (https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/). Aadhaar Number is used for authentication of pensioners. As a result of this facility the pensioner is not required to present himself before his pension disbursing agency or produce other documents that he is alive. 

Instructions related to submission and acceptance of ‘Jeevan Pramaan’ as additional mode for submission of life certificate have been issued to all the stakeholders by Controller General of Accounts. The Pension disbursing banks have been directed to implement the new life certification system immediately as an additional mode for submission of life certificate. 

This was stated by Shri Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.

Remote life certificate via Aadhaar authentication enables pensioners to submit proof of life remotely; banks must accept it. Jeevan Pramaan enables remote generation and submission of life certificates using Aadhaar authentication, removing the need for pensioners to appear physically before pension disbursing agencies. Stakeholders were instructed to accept this as an additional mode of life certificate submission, and pension disbursing banks were directed to implement the digital life certification system immediately.
