Big news for lakhs of pensioners’. If you get a pension under a pension scheme from the central government or the state government, then submit your life certificate by 30 November 2024; otherwise, your pension may be stuck or stopped from next month because it is mandatory for pensioners to submit a life certificate to get a pension under the government scheme.
In fact, in the last months of the year, especially in the month of November, pensioners have to submit the life certificate because the life certificate submitted by the pensioners is valid for one year. Pensioners who had submitted the life certificate last year are valid till 30 November 2024. In such a situation, to get a pension from the month of December, it is necessary that pensioners submit their life certificate by 30 November.
Do you know these rules?
Under the rule, every pensioner between the ages of 60 and 80 has to submit his life certificate between November 1 and November 30. An 80-year-old super senior pensioner has to submit the certificate between October 1 and November 30.
According to the rule, the last date for submission of a life certificate is November 30. Until this date, the pensioner who does not submit this certificate will stop getting a pension from December. However, later on, with the submission of the life certificate, the entire pension amount along with the outstanding amount comes into the account.
Pensioners can submit life certificates both online and offline. Pensioners can deposit it through the Jeevan Pramaan portal, face authentication, postpayment bank, designated officer sign-in, and doorstep banking.
