Pensioners’ Relief: Submit Life Certificate Online Using Smartphone Face Authentication
Submitting life certificates has now become much easier for pensioners. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced that, with the use of face authentication technology, pensioners can now download and submit their Digital Life Certificate (DLC) right from their homes. This new facility has greatly reduced the inconvenience faced by millions of elderly and differently-abled individuals, who earlier had to visit banks, post offices, or EPFO offices to complete the process.
Now smartphone and internet are enough.
Pensioners are required to submit a life certificate every year to ensure uninterrupted pension payments. Previously, submitting this certificate required a trip to a bank or post office, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, now, with EPFO’s face authentication technology, this entire process can be completed from home using a mobile phone and internet. This means that pensioners no longer need to visit these offices; they simply need a smartphone and internet access.
Banking and post office apps are also providing facilities
In addition to the EPFO, many major banks and post offices also offer this service through their mobile banking or internet banking apps. Individuals interested in receiving a pension can download the official app for their respective bank or post office and submit the required information to submit a life certificate. This process is completely digital, saving time and providing real-time updates on certificate submission.
The entire process is hi-tech and safe.
Generating certificates using the latest face authentication technology is considered secure, as it verifies the identity of the individual. This initiative by the EPFO has made the online life certificate submission process easy, fast, and reliable. This step will truly bring relief to the elderly and the disabled, who can now easily submit their certificates from the comfort of their homes.
What to keep in mind
Pensioners are required to submit a digital life certificate every year to continue receiving their pension. Now that this process has become digital and easy, senior citizens are free from the hassle of running around offices. To avail this service, keep your personal information secure and use only authorized apps or websites.
