To avoid the hassle faced by the pensioners while going in person to submit their life certificates, India Post Payments Bank, which operates under the Department of Posts has arranged for the doorstep service to the pensioners to submit their digital Life Certificate through Jeevan Pramaan using the biometric authentication, with a service charge of Rs 70," the statement added.

Pensioners can generate their digital life certificate through their area postmen within few minutes by providing details like Aadhaar number, mobile number, PPO number, pension account details and biometric authentication.
