proposal under consideration to promote the Government officials based on
public rating/feedback.
Department of Pension
& Pensioners’ Welfare has informed that an “Aadhar-based Digital Life
Certificate (DLC)” for pensioners was launched on 10th November, 2014.
Aadhaar 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.
After generation of
the DLC, the pension disbursing agencies integrated with the system will get
access to the submitted DLC for processing and release of pension there after.

multi-layered robust security system in place to maintain the highest level of
data security and integrity in accordance with the Aadhaar Act, 2016 and the
Regulations notified under the Act. Some of the security measures include
provision of secure channel, implementation of Aadhaar Data Vault, Hardware
