The biggest concern for every elderly person after retirement is their pension. Pension is the support that meets their daily needs, such as medicines, household expenses, and other essential things. But sometimes this pension stops due to a small mistake or lack of information. The biggest reason is not submitting the necessary documents on time. The most important document among these is the Life Certificate. If it is not submitted on time, the pension may stop. Come, let’s know which documents your pension can stop.
What is a Life Certificate
A Life Certificate is a document that proves that the person receiving the pension is still alive. The government asks for this proof every year to ensure that the pension is being given to the right person and no fraud is taking place. Earlier, pensioners had to stand in line for hours in banks or government offices to submit it, but now this process has become very easy. Pensioners have to submit their life certificate every year between November 1 and November 30. If you do not do this on time, then your pension will be stopped.
Now submit a life certificate sitting at home
Now pensioners do not need to stand in long lines. If you want, you can also submit your life certificate online, sitting at home. For this, you can use the Jeevan Pramaan app. This work can also be done using Aadhaar-biometric through a mobile or a laptop. Apart from this, you can also avail this facility by calling the post office agent at home.
Without which documents can a pension be stopped
While taking a pension or submitting a life certificate, there are some other important documents without which your pension can be stopped.
Proof of identity and address
For this, documents like Aadhaar card, voter ID, PAN card, ration card, driving license, and passport are necessary.
Bank account details
It is very important to have correct bank account information in your pension documents, such as a copy of the bank passbook, IFSC code of the bank, and account number.
Income and Pension ID
Apart from all this, an income declaration certificate and your pension ID or PPO (Pension Payment Order) number are also required.
It is very important to keep in mind that all the documents are updated on time. A small negligence can create big trouble for you. So next time, whenever there is a possibility of your pension getting stopped, first of all, check your life certificate and other documents.
