To enhance ‘Ease of
Living’ of Central Government pensioners, Department of Pension &
Pensioners’ Welfare has been promoting Digital Life Certificate (DLC) i.e.
Jeevan Pramaan extensively. In 2014, submission of DLCs using biometric devices
was commenced. Subsequently, the Department
engaged with MeitY and UIDAI to develop a Face Authentication technology system
based on Aadhar database, whereby it is possible to submit LC from any Android
based smart phone. As per this facility, the identity of a person is
established through face authentication technique and DLC gets generated. This breakthrough technology, launched in November 2021, reduced
the dependence of pensioners on external bio-metric devices and made the
process more accessible and affordable to masses by leveraging smartphone-based
technology.
With a view to spread
awareness amongst all the Central Government pensioners as well as the Pension
Disbursing Authorities for use of DLC/Face Authentication technology to submit
Digital Life Certificate, Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare launched
a nation-wide campaign in the month of November 2022 in 37 cities through-out
the country. The Campaign was a huge success with more than 35 lakh DLCs of
Central Government Pensioner issued. A Nation-wide Campaign will now be held
from 1st to 30th November, 2023 in 500 locations in 100 cities across the
country, targeting 50 lakh pensioners in collaboration of 17 Pension disbursing
banks, Ministries/ Departments, Pensioners’ Welfare Association, UIDAI, MeitY.
In this regard, DLC camps
will be organized at Bengaluru in coordination with State Bank of India. The
Camps are being held at various locations in the city, viz., I.S.R.O, Nal
Bengaluru, Yelhanka New Town, Air Force Station Yelhanka and Hesarghatta by SBI
and at Vijayanagar-II, Basaveshwara, Hanumanthnagar, Malleshwaram and
Rajajinagar-II Block DPCD by Canara Bank. A team from UIDAI will also be
attending the Camps to assist pensioners for updation of their Adhaar records,
where ever required and also to take care of any technical issues.
In
this regard, a team from DoPPW will be visiting Bengaluru under the
Chairmanship of Shri V. Srinivas, Secretary (Pensions) on 4th November for reviewing campaign progress with Bank
officials, pensioners and representatives of three registered Pensioners’
Associations, viz., The Karnataka Central Government Pensioners' Association,
Karnataka Posts and Telecommunications’ Pensioners’ Association and All India
BSNL Pensioners Welfare Association.
The Department of Pension
and Pensioners’ Welfare will be putting all efforts to make this Campaign a
grand success throughout the country. SNC/PK
