EPF-95   PENSIONERS

 

SUBMIT LIFE   CERTIFICATE

 

 ONLINE

 

The Employees Provident Fund (EPF-95) pensioners are required to submit a life certificate to the EPFO every year to receive their pension.  Earlier the EPF pensioners were mandated  to submit the life certificate every year in November. Now as per the notification from EPFO a pensioner can submit a Digital life certificate (DLC) at any time during the year and the same is valid for 12 Months. In other words, pensioners under EPS’ 95 need not submit Jeevan Praman in November every year if- Your pension started less than a year ago or you have submitted it in December 2021 or after that.

How to generate  Digital Life Certificate (DLC):

Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, Govt of India has launched a mobile application Jeevan Praman for generating life certificates. Jeevan Pramaan is a biometric-enabled digital service for pensioners. Pensioners of the Central Government, State Government, EPFO, or any other Government organization can take benefit from this facility.
