Railways to Launch ‘Digital Life Certificate Campaign 4.0’ from 1st to 30th November, 2025


As envisaged by the Ministry of Railways, Vijayawada Division, South Central Railway is launching the Digital Life Certificate Campaign 4.0 from 1st to 30th November, 2025. Every year, pensioners have to submit Life certificate in the month of November for continuation of pension. The digital life certificate campaign has been undertaken on a large scale to empower the pensioners and ensure a more seamless and convenient process of submitting life certificates. This initiative will benefit all the pensioners, especially senior pensioners by affording them the ease of digitally submitting life certificate.

The Department of Pension & Pensioners’ Welfare in collaboration with UIDAI & MeitY, has launched Face Authentication for enhancing the “Ease of Living” of Government Pensioners. In the last three years, more than 4.50 crore Digital Life Certificates have been generated by pensioners belonging to both State and Central Governments.

The Main advantages of Digital Life Certificates are:

a.        Convenience: Eliminates the need for pensioners to visit Pension Disbursing Offices for submission of their Life Certificate.  Pensioners can submit their life certificates digitally from the convenience of their residences.

b.       Time-Saving: Simplifies the process of obtaining a life certificate, saving pensioners time and effort.

c.        Security: Adhaar-based Biometric authentication adds a layer of security to the process, reducing the risk of fraudulent claims

Process of submitting Life Certificate through “FACE AUTHENTICATION”:

DLC through Face Authentication Technology is based on Aadhaar using Android based smartphone.

 

·         The Pensioner/Family pensioner need to go to the Google play Store and search for “Aadhaar Face RD (Early Access) Application “ by UIDAI with latest version (presently 1.3.2).

·         After successfully installing the Aadhaar Face RD App on the device, it will appear in the Settings under App Manager or App Info. This application is used for the background process of the Jeevan Pramaan Application, so it is mandatory to install it.

·         Once the Aadhaar Face RD App is installed, the pensioner/family pensioner needs to download another application called “Jeevan Pramaan” form the Google Play Store with version 4.0.5.
