There is a report in a section of press that while inaugurating an Awareness Workshop on the online Pension Sanction and Payment Tracking System “BHAVISHYA”, Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh had said that the practice of submitting Digital Life Certificate for continuation of pensions will soon be done away with.

In a statement, it is stated that Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh has never ever expressed any opinion on the issue at any platform and, therefore, the question of having made such a statement does not arise at all. It is clarified that, as of now, the government has no proposal to discontinue the Digital Life Certification for the pensioners.

“Jeevan Pramaan” – a facility for submission of digital of life certificates by pensioners has been launched in November 2014. This is a voluntary facility provided in addition to existing provisions available for submission of life certificates and till date 9,62,910 Digital Life Certificates have been furnished by pensioners.
