A big news is waiting for pensioners. There is a deadline waiting for lakhs of former government employees. The deadline for government pensioners to submit life certificates is slowly approaching. The last date to submit this certificate is November 30, 2024. Now you have only 14 days left. In such a situation, you should settle this work as soon as possible; otherwise, your pension will stop.
Pensioners have to submit their life certificate to banks and post offices by November 30 every year so that they can get the benefit of a regular monthly pension. Pensioners have 3 options to submit the life certificate: in person, online, or through doorstep banking. The validity of the life certificate is one year from the date of final submission.

What happens if pensioners miss the deadline of November 30?
If your life certificate is not submitted by November 30, your pension may be closed. The money will be released only when the certificate reaches the Central Pension Processing Centre (CPPC).
Digital Life Certificate Campaign 3.0
Recently, the government has launched a nationwide Digital Life Certificate (DLC) Campaign 3.0 from November 1 to 30 to digitally empower pensioners. Under the campaign, more than 1.8 lakh pensioners got their digital life certificates made on the first day itself. The government had launched the Digital Life Certificate (DBC) for pensioners in 2014. In 2021, face authentication was added.
