The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) regional office in Ludhiana has announced a convenient new way for pensioners to submit their life certificates online. Using facial recognition technology available through the AadhaarFaceRd App downloadable from the Google Play Store pensioners can now complete this mandatory verification without needing to visit EPFO offices in person.

Importance of Submitting Life Certificates Annually

Pensioners must submit a life certificate every year to confirm their continued eligibility for pension payments. The EPFO has made it clear that failure to submit this certificate results in the withholding of pension disbursements. This new digital submission option allows pensioners to fulfill this requirement anytime during the year from their homes.

Validity and Ease of the Digital Life Certificate

Once submitted, the digital life certificate remains valid for 12 months. This removes the hassle of physically visiting the EPFO office or banks, especially benefiting elderly pensioners or those facing mobility challenges in Ludhiana.

Request to Family Members of Deceased Pensioners

The EPFO office in Ludhiana has also urged relatives of pensioners who have passed away to promptly notify the organisation. This ensures timely restoration and transfer of pension benefits to surviving spouses or children without delay.

This new online life certificate submission facility in Ludhiana is a welcome step towards digital empowerment of pensioners and streamlining pension management in the region.

This initiative not only enhances convenience but also supports the broader goal of digital inclusion for senior citizens, making pension management smoother and more efficient in the region.
