Till when can life certificate be submitted?
The month of November is very special for pensioners. It is important for pensioners to submit their certificate of being alive by 30 November 2024 so that they continue to get pension without any hindrance. The life certificate submitted by the pensioners is valid for one year. The life certificates submitted by the pensioners last year are valid only till 30 November 2024. In such a situation, to get pension from the month of December, it is necessary that the pensioners submit their life certificate within 9 days i.e. 30 November.
Super senior citizens i.e. people above 80 years of age have the facility to submit life certificate from October 1 to November 30, 2024, while senior citizens above 60 years of age can submit life certificate between November 1 to November 30, 2024. This can be done both online and offline.
Disadvantage of not submitting life certificate!
If the senior citizens receiving pension do not submit the life certificate by November 30, 2024, then according to UIDAI’s FAQ, they will stop getting pension from the month of December. According to UIDAI’s FAQ, “After the life certificate is updated in the pension system, pension will be paid along with the outstanding amount on the next date of pension payment. But if the life certificate is not submitted for a period of three years or more, then the pension will be released only after the approval of the competent authority through CPAO as per the due procedure.
