Jeevan Praman Patra: Big news for pensioners. Pensioners no longer need to visit the bank to submit their life certificates. The government has launched an Aadhaar-based digital life certificate service called Jeevan Pramaan, allowing senior citizens to submit their certificates from the comfort of their homes. This service is available not only online but also through doorstep banking and India Post Payments Bank (IPPB). This means that a postman or Gramin Dak Sevak can now come to your home and complete this process. Senior citizens no longer have to stand in queues.
