EPS-95 pensioners can submit Jeevan Pramaan from home using UMANG App: Follow these 6 steps for submission through Aadhaar face authentication

EPS-95 pensioners don’t need to visit a bank branch or a pension disbursing office for their annual Digital Life Certificate (DLC). They can instead generate their Jeevan Pramaan, or the DLC, from the comfort of their home, using the Aadhaar face authentication facility through the UMANG App. This feature will allow the submission of the annual life certificate for all pensioners, including old-age pensioners and physically challenged people who face difficulty in travelling.

When should an EPS pensioner submit their DLC?

EPS-95 (Employees' Pension Scheme) pensioners can now submit their DLC at any time of the year. The submitted DLC remains valid for one year from the date of submission. During the one year, EPS-95 pensioners can get their pension.

The DLC serves as proof that a pensioner is alive. Pensioners need to submit their DLC every year to continue receiving their pension. For pensioners covered under the EPS-95 pension, submitting the certificate within the prescribed period is important to avoid disruption in pension payments.

How EPS-95 pensioners can submit their Digital Life Certificate (DLC)

EPS-95 pensioners can do it using a smartphone camera through the Aadhaar face authentication app. All they need to do is fill in pension and other details on the app and complete face authentication to generate the DLC.
