Life Certificate: More than 64.96 lakh Digital Life Certificates have been submitted since November 1, as pensioners across the country are rushing to complete their annual verification. If your Life Certificate or Digital Life Certificate (DLC) has been rejected, there’s no need to worry. Let’s learn how to fix it.
What is Jeevan Pramaan and why DLC can be rejected?
Jeevan Pramaan is a digital service that allows pensioners to prove their life without visiting a pension office. It works on Aadhaar and biometric technology and is available to central, state, and other government pensioners. Digital Life Certificates (DLCs) are sometimes rejected. Common reasons include incorrect information (such as Aadhaar number, PPO number, or pension account) and biometric errors such as poor fingerprint or iris scan quality.
If you got a rejection SMS, the first step is to reach out to your bank or pension office, like the post office, to find out why. Once you know the issue, you can easily obtain a new life certificate by entering the right details and redoing the biometrics.
Pensioners can submit their life certificate using the following methods:
How to submit your life certificate?
Pensioners have two options for submitting their life certificate:
Jeevan Pramaan Kendra: This is available at banks, post offices, and CSCs.
Jeevan Pramaan App: This is for those who have a biometric device linked to a smartphone or computer.

The Government of India’s Digital Life Certificate Scheme aims to make this process entirely digital and straightforward for pensioners. It strives to simplify the process, making it hassle-free and quick for pensioners.
During the busy November period, pensioners are encouraged to finish their annual verification early to prevent any interruptions in their pension payments. Being careful when entering details and taking biometrics can help ensure your pension remains uninterrupted.
