New Delhi. To get pension, the elderly have to complete an important formality every year. In this process of submitting life certificate, many people face a lot of difficulty in reaching the bank or office. Now with the help of technology this problem can be reduced to a great extent. Beneficiaries of EPS-95 can get their life certificate made by doing facial recognition through their mobile phone.
For this, digital facility has been provided in UMANG app. The special thing is that for this work there is no need to be present in front of any other person or stand in a long queue in the office. The necessary verification can be completed sitting at home.
These important arrangements should be made in mobile
Before using this facility, keep Aadhaar card, mobile number linked to Aadhaar, PPO number and pension account information with you. The phone should also have UMANG and AadhaarFaceRD apps. Aadhaar must be registered in the records of the pension payment agency.
The work will be completed in six phases
First of all go to UMANG app and search Jeevan Pramaan service. Here you will get the option to make life certificate. After selecting this, identity will have to be confirmed with Aadhaar number and OTP received on mobile. After this the pensioner will have to enter his PPO number, bank account and other pension related information. If all the details are correct then facial verification will be done through mobile camera. The digital certificate will be ready as soon as the process is successful.
What to do after the certificate is made?
Once the certificate is ready, a Jeevan Pramaan ID is sent to the mobile. Information about the certificate can be obtained from this number. It can also be viewed and downloaded from the View Certificate option in the UMANG app.
Help can be found at home also
If an elderly person does not have a smartphone or is unable to complete the process on his own, there are options available for him too. Through India Post Payments Bank's doorstep service, the postman can come to his home and assist in getting the digital certificate made. Apart from this, this work can also be done at CSC center.
