Pensioners can submit their Digital Life Certificate from any location using their Aadhaar-linked biometric fingerprints. For added convenience, the postal department has set up services allowing postmen to visit pensioners at their doorstep to facilitate Digital Life Certificate submissions. Pensioners do not need to provide any documents, and the certificate will be directly sent to the pension office through the software and a confirmation message will be sent to their mobile phones.
In 2023-24, the Mangaluru division of India Post successfully provided this service to 4,279 pensioners. People have to pay a fee of Rs 70 to avail the doorstep service which would save travel time and effort for pensioners.
