If pensioners cannot go themselves, then they can take the facility of doorstep service. In this facility of post office, the postman or postman comes to the pensioner’s house and submits the life certificate. Apart from the post office, this facility is also available in the bank.
This is good news for pensioners. Now they can submit their life certificate online at any time of the year . Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has announced this. Earlier this facility was not available. The life certificate had to be submitted before a certain time, otherwise there was a possibility of stopping the pension. In a tweet, EPFO has given information about submission of life certificate online. In the tweet, EPFO has written that pensioners can now submit their life certificate at any time of the year, which will be valid for 1 year from the date of submission.
Keeping in mind the facilities of the pensioner, EPFO has started Digital Life Certificate. There is no need to go to the bank or pension agency for this. Pensioners can submit it online from anywhere. The mode in which the life certificate is submitted offline or online is equally valid.
