Digital Life Certificate campaign 4.0 aims to reach 2 Cr pensioners: Govt

New Delhi, Nov 2: The Digital Life Certificate (DLC) campaign 4.0 aims to reach two crore pensioners across more than 2,000 cities and towns through a saturation-based outreach approach, the government said on Sunday.  Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh is slated to attend the SBI Mega Camp under the Nationwide DLC Campaign 4.0 at NDMC Convention Centre, New Delhi, on Monday.

He will interact with pensioners availing the DLC facility through face authentication and witness demonstrations by various stakeholder organisations, including State Bank of India, India Post Payments Bank (DoP), UIDAI, and NIC. The DIC is a key initiative under the Government’s vision of Digital Empowerment of Pensioners, aligned with the Digital India and Ease of Living missions.

The campaign emphasises the use of Aadhaar-based Face Authentication technology, enabling pensioners to submit their Life Certificates conveniently without requiring biometric devices.

Special focus is being given to super senior and differently-abled pensioners through India Post Payments Bank’s (Department of Posts) doorstep DLC service.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has highlighted how Digital India initiatives like the Digital Life Certificate have simplified the pension process for senior citizens across the country.
