1. What is Jeevan
Pramaan (JP):
There are more than one crore
pensioners in the country including pensioners from Central Government and
Defense personnel. These pensioners get their due pension through Pension
Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) such as the banks, the post offices etc.
Pensioners are required to furnish a
“Life Certificate” to these PDAs in November every year either by presenting
themselves personally or by delivering a life certificate in the prescribed
format. The requirement to produce this certificate causes huge hardships
particularly to the aged and or / infirm pensioners.
Launched by Hon. PM Shri. Narendra
Modi ji, on 10th Nov 2014, Digital Life Certificate for Pensioners Scheme of
the Government of India, known as the Jeevan Pramaan (JP) seeks to address this
very problem by digitizing the whole process of securing the life certificate.
It enables the pensioner to generate a digital life certificate using a
software application and secure Aadhaar based Biometric Authentication System.
The Digital Life Certificate (DLC) so generated is stored online & can be
accessed by the pensioner & the Pension Disbursing Agency as and when required
by them.
2. Components of
the J P/ Digital Life Certificate
There are three basic components of
the Jeevan Pramaan /Digital Life Certificate:
A. The Pension Sanctioning Authority
(PSAs)
It is the authority which approves
and sanctions the pension of an individual. The Pension is to be delivered in
the Pension Account specified in the Pension Payment Order (PPO).
B. The Pension Disbursing Agency
(PDAs)
The Pension Disbursing Agencies
process the DLC of the pensioners. The PDAs can register on the Jeevan Pramaan
Portal to access the Life Certificates on-line. This account sign up facility
has been created for the PDAs (Banks, Post Office etc), to process pension
orders. The Agencies can securely login to view/ download a PDF copy of DLC of
Pensioner for processing.
C. The Pensioners:
The JP uses the Aadhaar platform for
biometric authentication of the pensioner. For the DLC generation the
pensioners needs to have Internet Connectivity, a biometric device (list of
supported devices is given on the JP portal) and JP Windows/Android Client
Application Software for PC/Mobile/tablet which can be downloaded from the
Jeevan Pramaan portal: https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/
3. Pre-Requisites for Digital Life

Generation of DLC using the Client Application
Software (the registration and generation of Jeevan Pramaan) gets done in two
basic steps:
5.1 Operator Authentication /Device

/register the biometric device (this one time only for a particular biometric
device whether it’s the agencies doing the DLC generation or it is being done
by the pensioners herself/himself). The operator / pensioner provide Aadhaar
Number and a Mobile number and receive an OTP which is provided in the online
application form/ software module for registration.
On entering correct OTP, below screen

finger-print on finger-print scanner or scan Iris (Eye) on Iris Scanner
connected to PC/mobile/tab.
once the finger-print/Iris is
authenticated, the system displays ‘Device Registration successful’ message on
the screen as shown in the screen below. Click on OK.
On clicking OK, Pensioner

-For Pensioner Authentication.
5.2 Authentication and Certificate
Generation
The pensioner data Aadhaar Number and
Mobile number is to be entered in the online application form after which the
pensioner receives an OTP.
The pensioner has to enter the OTP

process.
Once the Finger Print/Iris

displayed as shown below and an SMS acknowledgement is sent to the pensioner’s
mobile number. This sms has Jeevan Pramaan Certificate ID. The generated
certificates or DLCs are stored in the Life Certificate Repository and is
available anytime & anywhere for use by pensioner & Pension Disbursing
Agency.
6. Electronic Delivery of DLC

the Pramaan ID is sent in a sms to the pensioner for further use (print). The

delivered to the Pension Disbursing Agencies. The PDAs can access and view the
Life Certificate on the Jeevan Pramaan website and also download the same The

facility as well as for login access.
7. Pensioner Access to the
JP/DLC

available not only at the time of DLC generation but the can also download a
PDF copy of the generated digital certificate from Jeevan Pramaan website(https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/)
by using the generated Jeevan Pramaan ID or Aadhaar number.
