Procedure for Generating Jeevan
Pramaan / Digital Life Certificate (ver1.0)
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
Certificate Generation
i) The pensioner must have a Aadhaar
number
ii) The pensioner must have an
existing mobile number
iii) Registration of the Aadhaar
number with Pension Disbursing Agency ( bank Post Office etc) should have been
done already
iv) Biometric device (list of
supported devices is given on the JP portal)
v) PC with Windows 7.0 & above
Android Mobile/Tablet 4.0 & above
vi) Internet Connectivity
4. Generation of Digital Life
Certificate – Where & How
The Pensioners can either Generate
DLC themselves or Let Others do it for them. The Pensioner can register and get
a JP/DLC done at the below places:
i) Pensioner can download the JP
application (Generate DLC themselves) from the JP Portal
https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/app/download & install client application on
android based smart Phone/tablet or Windows PC/Laptop for DLC generation.
ii) Pensioner can visit any nearest
Centre (having facilities for digital services) like the Citizen Service Centre
(CSC), the Government Office /Banks designated for generating the DLCs and get
themselves registered online using their services. Pensioner might have to pay
nominally for this). The All India List of such CSCs (name & address) in
various States across India is posted on JP portal at: https://jeevanpramaan.gov.in/locater
5. The Two Step process with Client
Application for the Online DLC:
The Pensioner can download the Jeevan
Pramaan Windows & Android client software from the portal. The client
software will take care of registration for the life certificate, for
authentication it will use the Aadhaar Biometric Authentication platform.
This link will be made available
after submitting the e-mail address. The pensioner or the operator needs
download the client application as per their requirement.
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
Registration
It is required to authenticate
/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.
